Japan has been hit hard by the H1N1 Swine Flu and companies are capitalizing on the pandemic to promote their own flu resistant products.
We've seen air conditioners and air purifiers that have proven to stop the H1N1 flu virus from spreading.
Haruyama Trading Company of Japane has developed and is now selling a men's suit which will supposedly ward off the H1N1 virus.
The suit is coated with titanium dioxide--a chemical commonly used in toothpaste and cosmetics--that breaks down when reacting with light and supposedly kills the virus upon contact.
It looks like any other suit, priced for $580 and has not been clinically proven to be effective.

"Look HOT and stay HEALTHY with fall fashions and avoid the plague in these deadly times we live in."
----disclaimer----
titanium dioxide has been designated by the IARC, as a group 2B carcinogenic substance and likely promotes if not directly causes cancer in humans. Wear this suit at your own risk.
