I wonder if this gadget would be safe to zap mouth borne etc bugs, or would that be too dangerous? Better yet if it allowed a fibre optic attacment for use in those hard to get to places. There is of course a radation/cancer risk attached to uv exposure, but i still wonder about the potential of short term internal use. Zapping "half a litre of water in 48 seconds" Hmm...

Zapping “half a litre of water in 48 seconds” Hmm…

Whether you are in Tijuana trying to defeat a hangover or camping out in the Rockies, it is never a good idea to drink the questionable water you come across. In the past, we were limited to those sterilization iodine tablets that take forever to purify and end up tasting like chemical water. Now, there is a solution that is effective, quick, and of course, well designed. The SteriPEN is a handheld device that uses ultraviolet light to destroy bacterial microbes from all sources of water. To use it, simply place the SteriPEN tip into the water and watch the UV light turn from green (ready) to blue (germ killin’ time) , and finally when it’s finished cleansing, it turns off. It takes only 48 seconds to purify a half liter, which is no time compared to other methods. Now onto the science- UV light has been used by hospitals and plants for years to kill off water-borne bacteria. It is proven to destroy 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses and 99.9% of protozoa. To be more specific, the SteriPEN will kill off E. coli, Salmonella, Polio, common yeast, and a bunch of other viruses and diseases I’ve never heard of. There are three versions available, each will different looks and features, but they all have the same purpose. This is one cool and useful travel companion, so pick on up from REI, LL Bean, or EMS for an even $100. [Via Gaj-it] [...] [...] A major travel dilemma is trying to find clean drinking water.
