Dandy Enterprises LLC Announces Protection Against Deadly Germs and Viruses on Shopping Cart Handles
Monroe, Mich. -- Dandy Enterprises LLC is proud to announce the availability of newly patented "The Healthy Handle," which is designed to help protect shoppers from germs and other health hazards on shopping cart handles.

Inventor Al Dandy came up with the idea for The Healthy Handle when his wife cut her hand on a broken piece of plastic on a shopping cart handle.

"There's got to be a way that people can be protected while using a shopping cart," she told him, and he set out to do just that.

The Healthy Handle, built to fit any shopping cart handle, is easy to use, and dishwasher safe. It can be put on and removed without direct contact with the shopping cart handle itself. It takes protection a step further than antibacterial wipes, Dandy explained.

His company, Dandy Enterprises LLC, maintains a web site at www.thehealthyhandle.com.

"The fact that shopping carts are contaminated is real, and they are a major contributor to a huge public health problem," he said. "Wipes and sprays create a false sense of security. They have been proven to only remove a portion of the germs, viruses, and bacteria on a shopping cart handle. If you are concerned and use a wipe, then you should be concerned to know that wipes alone may not be enough to protect you."

It is not uncommon to see customers sneeze or cough into their hands, then go back to pushing a shopping cart. Young children drool, and teething babies bite on the handles, - even when under the watchful eye of a parent. Such practices lead to the spread of illnesses.

In recent studies, shopping cart handles tested positive for bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, mucus, and even urine and fecal matter. Scientific research has proven the danger of spreading illness by hand contact with these and many other contaminates, according to Dandy.

"Not only do we have to contend with existing illnesses, but because our borders are virtually gone, we now have to deal with new diseases and illnesses that follow the new cultures. Traditions and different beliefs, along with personal hygiene differences, bring new problems. We must not ignore the problem, but address it with common sense and effective aids," Dandy said.
