Next stop on the germophobe express

steripen_in_glass.jpg

What luck! Another gadget perfectly suited for me, the resident germophobe.

Whether it’s from a faucet in a suspect country or from a babbling brook found on a camping trip, SteriPEN will help ensure that your H2O is safe to drink.

Using UV technology, SteriPEN destroys more than 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa in seconds, letting one rest assured that Montezuma will not be taking revenge. Operates on 4 AA batteries that can provide up to 140 uses. Comes with a lightweight storage case for easy packing.

Richard:

The site is actually http://www.steripen.com/, not http://www.streipen.com/
