Abstract: A method of mitigating the effect of bodily pathogens including providing a light applicator including a housing, a power supply, and at least one light source wherein the light source is configured to emit light in the ultraviolet range when energized by the power supply, and directing the applicator toward a bodily orifice so as to directly irradiate the orifice for a period of time.

Abstract: A system for managing a user's exposure to the ultraviolet radiation including a user input interface, display circuitry including a screen, control circuitry including at least one processor wherein the control circuitry is configured to communicate with the display circuitry and the user input interface, data storage means for storing program instructions that, when implemented by the control circuitry, are configured to determine UV index information corresponding to a user's location, communicate with the user input interface to retrieve information for at least one user parameter, calculate at least one recommended exposure time based on the UV index information and the user parameter information, and communicate with the display circuitry to display the recommended exposure time.
