The basic kit contains Glo Germ Lotion (2 oz. bottle), a UV Flashlight and Instructions for teaching 30-50 students that handwashing is the most effective way to prevent the transfer of bacteria and viruses.

You may also add Nanobug temporary tattoos, additional UV Flashlights and additional Glo Germ Lotion to your kit by selecting them below.

Students will learn what germs are, why some may be harmful, where they are located in the environment, and how they are transmitted from the environment to humans and from human to human. Students will also learn that proper hand washing is the most effective way to prevent the transfer of germs and diseases.

Exposure to UV lights should be limited. Black lights should not be tampered with, nor should their shields or lenses be removed. The black light provided with this kit is used to detect “simulated” germs on hands and surfaces. Therefore, ONLY hands and surfaces should be exposed to the light. Individuals should not look directly at the black light.

Please Note: Individuals sensitive to UV light, taking photosensitizing medications, or those who lack optic lenses or who may have other abnormal eye conditions may not be adequately protected against exposure to artificial UV light and should avoid it altogether.
