Scientists in Japan have created a business suit which they claim can help fight off flu at the office.

The £365 suit is made from special fibres which have been treated with  titanium dioxide which is claimed to break down bacteria and fights infections on reaction with light.

It was designed to ward off the spreading A H1N1 swine flu virus -- and cash in on the general sense of terror around the bug.

Makers Haruyama claim the suit took over a year to develop, and that in tests it has broken down the A H1N1 swine flu virus, making for a safer office.

They are currently only making a mens suit with the fabric… though you can bet a schoolgirls uniform is not far behind.
