Of course everyone wants to sit in a clean and
spotless toilet seat. In fact every homemaker makes sure that this is the
cleanest among the place in our home. Soaps, water and disinfectant can thoroughly
clean it, and if you compare toilet seat than the keyboard of our computer
it will appeared that the keyboard is more dangerous and prone to sickness and diarrhea.
But be more warned when you find out that your
mobile phone is more dangerous and threat to your health. The one that you
always hold almost every day anytime of the day contains more bacteria than you
find in a toilet.
According to experts, they discovered that there are 10 folds more bacteria in the average phone that they experimented which can
cause nausea and stomach problems.
If we notice our phones are often passed from
hands to another hands and we neglect to clean it, in which the bacteria and germs are
cultivating and spreading and diseases keeps building up on the phone. According
to Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, bacteria get into
the phone easily due to the fact that it is so close to our hands and mouths. When
mobile phones are shared with friends or strangers, germs easily get into the
devices and since it is an electronic device, people seldom clean them, Gerba
added.
Most often people do not usually clean their
phones. However, giving them a wipe with an antibacterial substance or alcohol
can sanitize it and can save you from harmful diseases especially if your child
also borrows your phone to play or used it as a communication.
