OUTFOX illness and disease by spreading the word... not the germ!
To get as much hygiene and infection control information to you, OUTFOX uses many digital mediums throughout the online community.
One example of a digital platform, Squidoo (found at www.Squidoo.com), has been great a partner for getting out great information about fluorescent materials, germ simulations, black lights, disaster preparation, health events and so forth.
The following are summaries of many of our Squidoo "lenses" that you can find great tips and information. Use the the Squidoo links and pass them on to colleagues that would benefit.
