Bacteria is everywhere! We have them inside our bodies too! Some of them are good and we need them to function properly, but the others can create havoc. If they take over the immune system, you may become ill. The most common place in our home or workplace where bacteria are most likely to have spread is the bathroom. For obvious reasons, bathrooms are thriving places for bacteria to fester until they can be carried and transferred to other objects by contact.The bacteria eventually gets on your mobile phones, clothes, door knobs and into your body. This is why it is important to properly wash the hands since that is the first line of defense against the bacterial contagion. There are troubling statistics that indicate a large percentage of credit cards and mobile phones have tested positive for traces of faecal waste on them. A study conducted by the Harvard Medical School gives the expression ‘dirty money’ and entirely new twist. Namely, it showed that 94% of the dollar bills currently in circulation also tested positive for having traces of faecal waste on them. For a healthy person with strong immunity, these facts are not a cause for much worry. Unfortunately, not everybody has a strong immune system.
