Anti-superbug pyjamas go on sale

Link: BBC NEWS | Health | Anti-superbug pyjamas go on sale.

Silver-lined pyjamas designed to protect against the hospital superbug MRSA have gone on sale in the UK. M&S is the first British retailer to stock the £45 Sleep Safe pyjamas and is trialling them at 100 stores. Silver is known for its infection-fighting properties and silver-laced nightwear has already been tested in a handful of hospitals. But campaigners called the pyjamas a gimmick and said the only way to tackle MRSA was by making hospitals cleaner.
