A Stanford University study determined that if a virus is placed on the screen of a cellphone, 30% of it will be transmitted to other people’s hands, which soon enough make it into other people’s orifices; eyes, mouths, anuses, whatever. But that’s the least of my worries. What I’m more concerned about is that cellphones hold 18 times more bacteria than a flush handle in a typical men’s restroom. So you have a choice. You can use your cellphone right... Continue reading

Developed in Germany at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, this hand sanitizer uses plasma to zap your hands free of germs. And it’s cheap! With only a $100 production cost. It uses plasma—heated gas, essentially—to clean your hands all over, including underneath your nails. It’s quick: your hands will be clean as a whistle (?) in only four seconds. Primarily for use at hospitals for now, it’s not long before you’ll be using plasma to clean your hands... Continue reading

There are people dropping dead all around us (mostly Mexicans, thank god) and it seems like there is nothing we can do about it. We here at Gearfuse like to mix a little humor in with our pandemics. That’s why we’ll be wearing these awesome Pig Snout Face Masks once the germ is airborne in our area. If we’re going to die, we’re... Continue reading

Now a system called PureCart could give you a clean shopping cart every time. The low-cost solution apparently works as follows: …the PureCart System uses an FDA and EPS approved quick-drying sanitizing solution to quickly clean... Continue reading

Ever seen one of those shows on the Discovery channel when they go into hotels or other grungy places and put on a UV light to illuminate all of the bodily made spittle? Yeah, ew. The UV Disinfectant Wand projects intense UV rays that kill 99.9% of all germs in less then 10 seconds. Since this is radiation we’re talking about here, you don’t want to use this thing consistently on any parts of your body or your potential to... Continue reading

Sanyo Japan announced today that they have started to commercialize their proprietorial virus-removal technology onto their line of air purifiers as well as air-conditioners. A regular air purifier removes dusts, if the pores on the sieve gets smaller, it can pick up flower pollens or even some bacteria. If you want to move up one level, we have sieves with electrical properties that can attract and hold these particles and hence attaining an even higher level of air “purification”. However,...
