Welcome to the world of nanobugs!

E coli

We live in a world where human beings think they rule. But within this world lies the unseen kingdom of microbes. Because microbes are invisible to the human eye, we often forget they are there. But with a little imagination, we can give life to the microbes and learn how to live in harmony with them.

Nanobugs Wins Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award

What people are saying about nanobugs...

"Your website is a really fun place to share with my 4-year-old grandson when he visits.  He loves to watch the nanobugs do their little monologs.  His favorite nanobug is Pseudomonas aeruginosa.  He can pronounce their names after listening to the announcer on the website.  I was happy when you added the additional information to the menagerie.  Alex was asking for more information and I didn't want to try and make things up.  By the way, Alex now willingly brushes his teeth saying "let’s get rid of those nanobugs on our teeth".  (Streptococcus mutans) "

Nancy S. – a grandmother

"I finally found the time to check this website out. This is incredible!  The oldest boy that I nanny, Jacob (age 8) found the information and cartoon characters so intriguing!  I had fun showing him and his brother, Jordan (age 5) your website. Now they go around the house pointing out areas of possible living spaces for Nanobugs and they love to make sure the other is washing their hands all day.  I am so excited about your website. "

Emmy C. – a nanny

"My kids love to play with the Nanobugs playing cards. They love the Nanobugs! "

Shawn M. – a nurse and mother

"I am a teacher here in Australia.  I recently used Nanobugs tattoos with my students as a discussion point to emphasize the value of washing hands and basic hygiene.  It was a good way to get their attention. "

Jacob R. – a teacher

"The Nanobugs are really fantastic.  I am still laughing. Thanks for keeping me informed. "
