Kill the Germs!
You heard me. Die germs, die!
No, I’m not really all THAT paranoid about them. I have two kids and no time to be afraid of germs. A little dirt can actually help kids to build their immunities.
But there are some places you don’t want germs. And so when I saw the SteriPen Portable Water Purifier I couldn’t help but think how neat it was.
I can see two times I would want these:
- Going camping
- In a disaster kit
Living in earthquake country means that yes, I do have an emergency kit. With a decent water supply, but there’s no promise that the bottles won’t be smashed in a major quake. I don’t consider it paranoia to consider the possibilities so long as I don’t let them take over my life.
For more general areas, there’s the UV Disinfectant Wand. It’s a pretty cool little device too. I’m not quite feeling the need for it, but then I work at home. Pretty much no matter what I do I figure we’re going to all be sharing germs.
Of course, nothing can replace just keeping things clean for general germ control. I’m a touch overdue for a major housecleaning right now, and starting to feel it, which is no doubt why this topic really appealed to me today.
