As we move towards using more RATs and fewer PCRs, you may find yourself with a stockpile of these tiny lights.You may have received these UV torches with your rapid antigen tests."Small UV torches like the ones used in RAT kits are helpful in finding skin issues, blood and other uses around an animal shelter," Sarah Jane Tomsett, head of medical and logistics at Animal Rescue Cooperative Craft Guild in Sydney told 9news.com.au.and volunteers around the country.
"The UV or blacklights show ringworm, it glows green, like a fluorescent green," Joanne Lawrence, founder of Camden Community Supporting Our Companion Animals, said.When she posted to the community Facebook page about the torches this week, she was completely inundated. "Everything that we get is from either our pockets or I collect things off the side of the road, refurbish them - saving things from landfill and resell them," she said.The Animal Rescue Craft Guild has been collecting and sending UV torches out to rescuers all over Australia as part of its trauma kits.
She said if people donate the torches 'it means we don't have to buy them, and it means we can keep them after the COVID situation and we will have a supply'.

‘Urgent’: Surprise move on RATsThe federal government has quietly made a surprise move on rapid antigen tests, just days after making a bold call. Why are Feds taking Rapid tests at the border, sourced & purchased by Private Sector?
