Keep your OCD out of control with a portable sterilizer

germ zapper

If you are the type of person who obsessively washes their hands, wears gloves when you have to grab a subway pole, and only eat meat cooked to a char, chances are you might have an irrational fear of germs. Don't worry — I won't suggest you do anything to help treat what's probably a diagnosable neurological disorder. No ma'am, I'm an enabler through and through.

This convenient little gadget emits a germ-roasting UV light that will sterilize anything in its path. So just hold it over your keyboard, cell phone, or infant to get all those nasty germs off ASAP. It will beep when the light has been on long enough to do its thing, so you won't have to keep holding it there until your OCD tells you it's been long enough. You crazies out there can pick one of these up now for $80, which is way cheaper than going to a shrink.
