Stay Safe While Living a Healthy Lifestyle

Author: K.Meadows  August 4, 2010

Hello fans! Hopefully you are all enjoying the week.

WETKEYS wanted to make all of us healthy lifestyle goers aware of a potentially dangerous everyday situation.

The New York Times wrote an article on skin infections that can occur at the gym. Below is a portion of it:

When you go to the gym, do you wash your hands before and after using the equipment? Bring your own regularly cleaned mat for floor exercises? Shower with antibacterial soap and put on clean clothes immediately after your workout? Use only your own towels, razors, bar soap, water bottles?

If you answered “no” to any of the above, you could wind up with one of the many skin infections that can spread like wildfire in athletic settings.To read the entire article, click Here

Infections like MRSA can easily be transmitted at gyms, so make sure to be aware of how to avoid getting sick.

Moreover, don’t forget that you need a hygienic keyboard to keep up with your healthy lifestyle. WETKEYS makes all of its products with this in mind. We have waterproof and cleanable keyboards and mice to fit any need.

So stop by our site today and get yours.

We Are “Targeting Zero”

Author: K.Meadows  July 22, 2010

The APIC has launched an initiative called Targeting Zero.

Targeting Zero is an effort to eliminate all healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). The goal is bold but possible.

WETKEYS is aiding the effort by producing washable and disinfectable keyboards and mice. Any hospital that equipped itself with our keyboards would be able to disinfect them between users. This could cut down on HAIs dramatically. And reducing and eliminating HAIs is something we all deserve and should demand.

So help WETKEYS and the APIC in Targeting Zero by asking more from your healthcare system. You can become a WETKEYS affiliate today and spread the word!


News For Travelers

The USA Today posted this earlier:

“Federal health officers logged more than 3,000 cases of potentially infectious diseases among travelers in the past year, including airline passengers with tuberculosis, whooping cough, measles, mumps and typhoid fever, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data obtained by USA TODAY.

The reported cases, a fraction of illnesses carried by travelers, show the importance of up-to-date vaccinations and getting medical advice before going abroad, says Nina Marano, chief of the CDC’s quarantine branch.”

Encouraging Healthy Habits

Author: K.Meadows  June 2, 2010

The USA Today reported on how some companies are providing financial incentives to encourage healthier habits among employees.

“‘There’s been an explosion of interest in this,’ said Dr. Kevin Volpp, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Health Incentives.

Take OhioHealth, a hospital chain whose workforce is mostly overweight. The company last year embarked on a program that paid employees to wear pedometers and get paid for walking. The more they walk, the more they win — up to $500 a year.”

You can bolster your healthy lifestyle by purchasing a WETKEYS washable keyboard and mouse.

All of our products are waterproof and cleanable so you can eliminate germs from your keyboard and mouse.
