A portable syringe sanitizer kit has a longitudinal housing having a sanitization area, a compartment for retaining at least one source of electricity, and mechanisms for retaining a needle, barrel, and plunger of a syringe. A source of germicidal radiation, such as a UV-C light, is disposed in the housing, the source of germicidal radiation being electrically connected to a source of electricity, such as one or more batteries. A switch operatively connected to the source of electricity and to the source of germicidal radiation can initiate activation of the radiation. A syringe holder tube and a mechanism for retaining a syringe plunger are also provided. The source of germicidal radiation generates light having a wavelength of between approximately 200 nm and 280 nm. The housing is mounted in an eyeglass case. A timing device de-energizes the source of radiation after a predetermined interval of time.
