Scientists have long argued that the toilet is not the most dangerous place for all sorts of infections. There are objects on which there are much more harmful microorganisms, writes Rambler.

Money

Have you ever wondered how many hands went through the money you receive as a salary or change in the store? People who had these notes before you could be carriers of dangerous viruses.

Computer keyboard and mouse

It turns out that on computer accessories there are several hundred times more bacteria than on the toilet seat. Pay attention not only to hand hygiene after working with the keyboard and mouse, but also to disinfect the devices themselves. In order not to damage them, buy special disinfectants for computer equipment.

Smartphone

A mobile phone is another hotbed of germs. He accompanies us everywhere, happens in the most polluted places. We can touch the device more than 2000 times. And during calls, part of the bacteria safely gets over to the face.

But washing your hands is not enough. Take care of the hygiene of the device itself: wipe the screen as often as possible with microfiber cloths using non-aggressive antimicrobial agents.

Handrails in public transport

Here the situation is the same as with money. Thousands of people daily touch the same handrail, leave “their” germs on it. In the cold season, gloves are the best protection: do not remove them while using public transport.

Carts and baskets in supermarkets

It is unlikely that stores pay attention to the disinfection of the handles of baskets and carts. After visiting supermarkets, wash not only your hands, but also all products purchased without packaging.

Restaurant Menu

We all know to wash our hands before eating. But if you dine in a restaurant, do this procedure after you order your food. The menu offered by the waiter will have no less bacteria than the same phones, handrails and money.

Домашние животные

Although cats are considered to be very clean, dust and particles of their vital products still remain on the coat. Try to wash your hands after each contact with the furry and forget about joint kisses.

Do you wash your hands correctly?

In order to protect your body as much as possible from infection by foreign pathogenic bacteria, follow the rules when washing hands:

  • roll up your sleeves
  • wet your hands with water and lather
  • rub your palms, backs of hands, wrists and between your fingers thoroughly for 20-30 seconds
  • wash off the lather with water
  • dry your hands dry.

If the hygiene procedure is carried out in a public place, use paper towels or a dryer. Wet hands are a more attractive environment for germs than dry ones.
