I work in a relatively small office, about seven people in a
room, and lately we've been swapping microbes just by
proximity. We need something that would attract microbes
floating in the air, to which the microbes would STICK - then
we could just throw it away.
Alternatively, this could
be a great scam for a late-night
infomercial.

I think you're going to have better luck with the scam. |
|

A HEPA or better ULPA air filter is your best bet, but those are fairly widely known to exist. |
|
| |
That thing that microbes stick to is you. But instead of throwing away, try a shower. It is that thing where the water flows over you then carries the microbes directly down the drain. You can loosen them up with soap. |

I've also had satisfactory results with supplementary
hand/face cleansing throughout the day. I know it sounds
strange, but trust me, it works. |
|
| |
I've found that the best defense is to never wash your hands, touch your face a lot, eat only partially cooked ground beef, and spend time around animals and other sick people. A strong immune system is better than tiptoeing around germs, IMO. |

I was gonna fishbone this. (I was recalling the last time I walked into a fly strip accidentally and thinking the only thing worse would be walking into a sticky mess and giving myself the bird flu). |
|
| |
Then I thought: Hey! this would catch flies as well as germs. Two things at once! Add some antibacterial glue, and you might be on to something. I'll reserve judgement. |

And they will swarm towards it how exactly? |
|
| |
Mass action. It will start as the cleanest thing in the
room. |
|
| |
And end up absolutely just as filthy and germ-infested as
everything else in the room. 'Cause that's the great thing
about microbes, you know: there are always plenty to go
around. |
