Fear of germs has never been high on my list though after being sick twice so far this year with five months of the year left to go I may have to move that fear up a few notches. I think this particular public touch zone is bothersome for most people...the escalator handrail. First of all stepping onto a moving stair causes a need to hold on then when you touch the rubber belt it feels sticky,all in all not a pleasant experience. But now there is an answer! It probably won't make it feel any less sticky but the germs will not be part of the equation. A sterilizer is placed just before users climb on and it uses UV light to kill 99.9% of the germs,not to mention it is powered by the motion of the escalator. Unlike liquid hand sanitizers that are thought to be causing super germs the UV light can handle the toughest of germs. They are even becoming available for personal use and can be purchased online though I didn't check the prices.
