Parents

Hey Mom or Dad...

You must be one of those competent parents that checks out a website before you let your kids spend time there.  We guarantee that this website is a good place for your kids to find both entertainment and education.  Kids multi-tasking - there's something you don't see everyday. 

We're the Nanobugs - those delightful little "microbes with attitude".  You can read about us on the Nanobugs page and observe a brief performance where we each say our own catch phrase.  Those catch phrases help embed a unique message that can hopefully lead your child to a healthy lifestyle.  The purpose of our website is to entertain your kids with our cute personalities while educating them (and you) about practical microbiology for promoting health.  Learning practical microbiology... sounds impressive doesn't it?!  This is really important "stuff".  Like you, we want to prevent infections and keep kids in school.  Hey Mom - that means that you would only miss work for fun things, like vacation, and you won't have to serve in your other role as nurse.  And what about the money you will save on co-pays at the doctor's office... not to mention avoiding expensive prescription antibiotics.  I'm sure you can come up with even more reasons for preventing infections.

Surely you recognize that kids need to learn to take responsibility for their own health.  Mothers usually assume the role of advocate for their children's health and activist for family health issues.  So you'll want to check out the Nanobugs blog where the Nanobugs are often the topics of debate and discussion related to current health issues.  Also, check out the Nanobugs Menagerie where you can learn about us and our world. 

Welcome to the Nanobugs website, it's "the next big microscopic thing"!

Stimulate children to be self-directed in brushing and flossing their teeth with this static cling. It attaches easily to the bathroom mirror or ceramic tile to serve a reminder to the whole family. Strep mutans is the nanobug that causes tooth decay. It has an ability to stick to the tooth surface so the educational message on this static cling is: "we don’t let go until you brush and floss". One of our focus groups found that this was an effective tool for improving compliance with oral hygiene even with 4-year-olds.
