Poeirinha Malvada
Mischievous, she hides in the corners and floats about invisibly – you only spot her in a ray of sunlight. She causes itching, coughing and ‘achoo!’ when the windows stay shut.
Think you can beat me? Ask me anything about dirty air.
Poeirinha Malvada is a round, nimble and very mischievous little creature! She loves to hide in dark corners, on top of furniture and even to float invisibly through the air. You only really get to see her when a ray of sunlight comes through the window and lights up her ‘dancing particles’.
Her greatest idea of fun is causing an itchy nose, coughing and that loud ‘achoo!’, especially in people with allergies. She feeds on carelessness and loves it when the windows stay shut for a long time!
