Using UV Light to Detect Foreign
Objects on Your Hands
You may think of washing
your hands as a simple and
easy task, but if you don’t
wash your hands with care, germs
are most likely to stay on your
hands. How do we detect the
foreign objects on our hands?
Well, we have invented
something called
THE
Happy Hands UV
Light
Happy Hands UV Light
To detect germs and foreign
objects on your hands with the
Happy Hands UV Light, you
place your hands into the
Happy Hands UV Light and see
if there are any foreign objects
on you hands. If there are any
foreign objects on your hands,
then you will be able to see
them because there will be
green splotches on your hands
that will indicate foreign
objects.
Always wash your hands when:
• Preparing food or eating.
• Treating wounds, giving medicine, or caring for a sick or
injured person.
• Inserting or removing contact lenses.
• Always wash your hands AFTER:
• Using the toilet or changing a diaper

Touching an animal or animal toys, leashes, or waste.

Handling garbage, household or garden chemicals, or
anything that could be contaminated — such as a cleaning
cloth or soiled shoes.
