Infestation of bacteria and germs can cause serious health illnesses and transmit diseases from a carrier to another individual. Bacteria and germs are found on millions of surfaces, and one of the most common places is found on our own cell phone device. A cell phone device carries about 25,000 germs per square inch. The germ count on a cell phone device is 500 times more than a toilet seat, which contains around 50 germs per square inch.

Cell phones, and other electronic devices, are becoming more hands-on with larger touch screens and functions that require an increase in physical contact. Individuals touch germ and bacteria infested smart phones, headsets, MP3 players, and other electronically devices to their hands, face, and even ears. E-Coli, H1N1, and Strep are several germs found on the surfaces of our daily used electronic devices and is common on contact.

The tips of our fingers drag along the surface of a touch screen and then used to touch our eyes, mouth, or nose. The bacteria and germ transmission on the fingertip, after use of a cell phone or other electronic device, contain more germs than if a person were to sneeze directly onto your face.

To avoid the increase of germ and bacteria contact amongst an electronic device, such as a GPS or Bluetooth headset, is to wash hands for 17 seconds after touching infested areas. Another great way is through germicidal UV light. A portable battery operated machine eliminates germs such as Strep, E.Coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Pseudomonas and more. It also eliminates up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria after a 5 minute use.

The VIO Light UV Cell Phone Sanitizer can eliminate the increase in germs and bacteria found at home and work place. It can be placed on top of a desk, and used daily to clean and sanitize electronic devices no larger than 5" x 2.80" x 0.80".

Wiping down the surface of a desk and cell phone device with disinfecting wipes daily can also limit an individual spreading and being infested with the flu virus and other illnesses. The surface of a home or office desk ranges to about 25,000 germs per square inch and can live up to two days. Eliminating the spread of germs can decrease sickness in the work area, and at home.

On average, individuals tend to touch their face once or twice every two minutes, 600 times a day. The contact of a cell phone device touching the face increases the chance of catching an illness or being infested with germs and bacteria. Precautions must be taken to avoid the infestation increase of germs and bacteria.
