Naturally, endogenous porphyrins can provide sensitized disinfection power, and to photobiologists' delight, violet‐blue light has potential virtues, but progress is needed before violet‐blue light treatment can be used for microbe treatment of blood plasma, and yet safeguard against protein photooxidation. A report by Maclean et al. in this issue of Photochemistry & Photobiology on microbe reduction in blood plasma showing negligible competing protein photooxidation may bring that goal a step closer.
