- I've always thought if we could somehow

00:01

just see the germs around us,

00:02

everyone will be a lot more careful

00:04

and we'd get sick way less.

00:06

Unfortunately, that's still not possible.

00:08

So I did the next best thing

00:09

by running a daylong experiment

00:11

in this third-grade classroom.

00:12

I found this powder called Glo Germ.

00:14

And just like real germs, when it's on your hands,

00:17

you can't see it.

00:18

But unlike real germs,

00:20

if you turn a black light on, it becomes visible.

00:22

But it transfers to things you've touched,

00:24

so it provides a really good way

00:26

to visualize exactly how germs spread.

00:28

So before the kids arrived, as a control,

00:30

I went around and noted any preexisting spots

00:32

in the room that fluoresced under the black light.

00:35

And then it was go time.

00:36

The kids, of course, had no idea what we were doing

00:38

and that the teacher had been secretly infected

00:40

with the glowing powder.

00:41

So she randomly shook the hands of three kids

00:43

but didn't touch any of the rest.

00:45

And so with that, they just went about their normal day.

00:47

(lighthearted music)

00:53

At break, I did choose one random student,

00:55

and he agreed to letting me put some of the powder

00:57

on his hands too.

00:57

And then two hours later at lunchtime,

00:59

I checked the results.

01:00

Remember, everything you see here started

01:02

with just the teacher

01:03

and one student having a little of that powder

01:06

on their hands.

01:07

And because my flashlight can only illuminate one spot

01:09

at a time,

01:10

I used Photoshop to better visualize our observations

01:13

of where germs were left behind,

01:14

including on the other kids.

01:16

Uh-oh! (children exclaiming)

01:17

We're pretty hot over here!

01:19

Oh, right here.

01:20

And they were actually pretty diligent

01:22

about washing their hands.

01:23

This was the desk of the kid that was infected.

01:25

And what's crazy is that germs could live

01:27

on a hard surface like this for up to nine days.

01:30

And so you can see how important it is

01:32

to disinfect the things a sick person regularly touches.
