Mar 4 2008UV Light Kills Germs, Chance Of Being Normal
This handheld UV scanner costs $30 and runs on 4 AAA batteries. You wave it over an object you're going to touch and it kills 99.9% of germs. But I've got news for you -- it's that 0.01% of germs that'll kill you. No, seriously -- those are the ones that are so tough nothing can faze them. It's actually funny that I found this online because an ex-neighbor of mine had one of these and swore by it. He wouldn't touch anything without blasting it with UV first. So you know what I did? I coughed all over the back of the handle when he was out of the room. And then you know what he did? He died. Yeah, apparently he had some sort of disease that made regular germs fatal. Oops. I feel really bad too because the couple that bought his house are a-holes who I can't stand and they don't even keep the yard looking nice.

I hope I didn't miss any. It's neat and all, but bacteria grow so fast that even if you did end up passing that over the entire house, by the time you're done with the knob and start on the door, the bacteria have grown back...so I call shenanigans.

It's good for the doors of public toilets. I always pulls my sleeve over my hand before touching them, or kick them open if I need to go bad.

Concur with guate6.
#7 please be sure and use the ass gasket provided in the box on the wall. If none are available, make one by laying toilet tissue on the seat before sitting on the throne. Also, run like hell after flushing to avoid "overspray" - these tips work for me.

FAKE. IF this is real and you walked around with it you'd end up with cornea and retinal damage and skin cancer on your fingers.
I call BS. (and second the ass-hat).
Make your handles out of copper and solve the problem. Kills all known germs dead. Dead everything without eye cancer sounds like a plan.
