&gt; The drug, BromAc – which is made with an enzyme found in pineapples -was found to dissolve the spike proteins that Covid-19 uses to infect human cells.<p>So not pineapples themselves but a derivative.<p>&gt; It has been repurposed into a nasal spray that researchers hope will stop the virus&#x27; spread from the nose and throat to the lungs. A trial on patients at the Royal Melbourne Hospital could start next month.<p>So not an injection or anything, just sort of a nasal barrier.
