Do you dread the cold and flu season? Already have your waiting room segregated into sick and well sections? Wouldn't you like to have a tool to recommend to parents to help reduce germs?
The American Academy of Pediatrics and many of you recommend teaching children to cough and sneeze into their elbow, but up until now there has not been a easy way how to do it.
As a parent, I know that telling a child "Cough in to your elbow" is like asking them to eat brussel sprouts.
This is where Germy Wormy helps!
It is a well known fact that children respond best to "characters". The Germy Wormy character's favorite food is germs and he is sooo hungry. So, if you need to cough, make your elbow your spot, if you need to sneeze, give Germy Wormy your germs please!
Germy Wormy is a sanitary sleeve sized perfectly for a child's elbow. On the sleeve is the picture of the Germy Wormy character so the kids can "feed" the Germy Wormy all of their germs. The benefits are:
- Fun for them - that increases their desire to cough and sneeze correctly.
- Protects their clothes with a disposable product. Lots of coughs and sneezes? Lots of germs? Simply remove that Germy Wormy, throw it and the germs out, and put on another one.
- Captures the germs from the moment they leave their mouth and nose.
- Creates the automatic response of raising the elbow to capture the germs when they cough and sneeze. More on the Germy Wormy, less on surfaces. Less on surfaces equals less chance of spreading!
What can I do?
