There's only one thing I dislike about attending the annual Archery Trade Association Show: germs. These nasty buggers lurk everywhere, lying in wait as unaware ATA Show exhibitors and attendees come from all over the world to walk the halls, shake hands and test archery gear. The 2020 ATA Show is in the Indiana Convention Center, January 9-11.

If you’re one of those attendees (like me) who prefers to fist bump instead of shake hands because of germs, you'll be happy to hear that ElimiShield has stepped up to try and keep you from catching the dreaded “show crud.”

ElimiShield Hunt Core Body Foam is the industry’s first FDA-compliant, direct-to-skin scent control product. Through the company’s sponsorship of the ATA concession area, ElimiShield will have bottles of the ElimiShield Hunt Core Body Foam available for show attendees to help keep themselves crud-free.

Originally designed for the infection and disease control markets, ElimiShield Hunt Core Body Foam has applications for everyday use, as well as hunting. Unlike most hand sanitizers, Hunt Core Body Foam works long term. According to ElimiShield, the foam doesn’t need to be reapplied constantly throughout the day because it bonds to the outer layer of the skin; it’s both sweat-resistant and wash-resistant. It continues killing odor-causing bacteria until your skin exfoliates, which is usually in three to five days.

“I have heard that every year hundreds of ATA attendees and exhibitors get sick at this show,” said ElimiShield COO Tommy Lancaster. “We have the best product on the market that can help prevent the spread of germs to the human body. We want to make it readily available to everyone at ATA so that they can enjoy the show and hopefully return home healthy. Visit our booth, #1337, for a free bottle while supplies last.”

It’s unavoidable; attendees will encounter germs on bow handles and everything else they touch during the 2020 ATA Show. To help prevent the dreaded “show crud,” ElimiShield is providing Hunt Core Body Foam at the concession areas, as well as their booth (#1337).

ElimiShield Hunt Core Body Foam will be available in all public concession areas and in the ElimiShield booth. Show attendees are encouraged to apply the foam to their hands a couple times during each day of the show. It is alcohol-free, scent-free and contains Aloe Vera to moisturize the skin.

P.S. Even though I'll use ElimiShield frequently during the 2020 ATA Show, don't be offended when I greet you with a fist bump instead of a hand shake.
