Unobtrusive Fever Indicators

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Fever Bugz' Can Be Stuck to a Child's Forehead for 48 Hours

— August 21, 2017 — Lifestyle
Fever Bugz are an adorable stick-on solution to monitoring a child's temperature without waking them up. Ear and forehead thermometers work work like a charm, but their intrusive elements aren't always convenient, especially when a child is resting. Not to mention, the devices can be incredibly expensive -- a monetary commitment one might not be willing to make, especially if traveling and already have one at home.

Fever Bugz can easily be affixed to a child's forehead, monitoring their temperature for up to 48 hours. It's even waterproof so it won't fall off in the bath. Little numbers light up to indicate a child's temperature that promise to be accurate within one degree Fahrenheit. The stickers give parents some much-needed peace of mind and allow children to sleep through the night, undisturbed by worrying parents.
