Consumers try to buy feeling of safety amid swine flu fears

Marketers are out in force — particularly on the Internet — with items ranging from 99-cent face masks to potions such as oregano oil that fetch $70 a bottle to third-party overnight shipments of Tamiflu for $135 per prescription.

Some major marketers are seeing an uptick in sales of items such as masks, latex gloves, anti-bacterial soaps and hand sanitizers. There's a "measurable increase" in mask sales at Walgreens in Chicago, New York and Texas, spokeswoman Tiffani Washington says. Consumer gurus aren't surprised that so many treatments and protective devices related to swine flu — legitimate or not — are getting plenty of traction from retailers and marketers.

"When we're faced with a potential threat, we tend to imagine the worst," says Jerald Jellison, a social psychologist. "That's what marketers are capitalizing on. In a state of high need, with our rational powers diminished, we'll take almost any action."

Even then, there's still a hearty supply of the prescription flu fighter Tamiflu, in part because this winter had a light flu season, says Terry Hurley, spokesman for the maker, Roche. "We haven't seen a rush yet from wholesale pharmacies."

But plenty of other products are getting strong pushes, even if their effectiveness has not been scientifically proved in all cases:

•Oregano oil. The extract from wild oregano plants, said to be an antiviral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent, is being sold in 2-ounce bottles for $70 by Spy Shops of Fort Lauderdale. "This is super strong stuff, but it doesn't taste very good," says Jose King, sales manager.

•Masks and respirators. Sales of a special respirator took off after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention specifically recommended folks in affected areas wear N95 respirators by 3M. The company started to "ramp up production" after the CDC recommendation, spokeswoman Jacqueline Berry says.

Lowe's home centers have seen "a sizable increase of the popularity of dust and face masks," spokeswoman Abby Buford says. The masks are being sold in boxes of 10 for $12, by Gallaway Safety & Supply, which usually supplies them for industrial use. "I can't keep them in stock," says Colin Gallaway, owner of the company. "Folks see people on TV wearing them and want some just in case."

•Anti-microbial rinses. Among the ways a flu virus can enter the body is via the mouth. So, MedActive Oral Pharmaceuticals is promoting its anti-microbial fluoride rinse, MedActive, as a method of protection. It costs $44.95 for 28 doses. "It's an extra layer of defense that provides protection from harmful bacteria," CEO Don Mackey says.

•Swine flu "kits." Special $25 "swine flu kits" are sold on Amazon.com by BP Medical Supplies. Among the items: masks, safety goggles, gloves, wipes and hand sanitizer. Company owner Ben Perl says he decided last weekend to make swine flu kits. "I've worked around the clock," he says.

Not all consumers, however, are rushing out to purchase swine flu protection.

"There would have to be many more cases in the U.S. for me to even start thinking about preparing for a pandemic," says Amy Devlin of Queens, N.Y.

Others are more cautious. Susan Fusaro of Jupiter, Fla., says she and her daughter were discussing getting a mask. "I think it would be a good time now to do so before panic sets in."

But Jellison, the social psychologist, has no such plans. "We'll take anything to protect ourselves from the monsters hiding on the other side of the cliff."
