The invisible world may be no less real and dangerous than the visible. Especially if it is a world of germs and disease-causing bacteria, which you can pick up, touching the seemingly innocuous subjects.
What is the danger
Statistics show that 95% of people wash their hands for 6 seconds. Not more. And in order to achieve the desired result, i.e. to wash away the dirt and unwanted microorganisms, attention should be 15-20 seconds thorough washing.
And also very useful to know, then, or to what is necessary to wash your hands carefully. Let's start with a loved one.
Mucous membranes of our eyes and the nose is not protected. Therefore, to bring the infection - simple enough matter. Especially easy to do in the season of SARS or other epidemics.
Therefore, if it so unbearable to clean the nose or rub your eyes, wash your hands thoroughly than usual. Here true rule: wash seven times, once you touch.
But even if you're not going to climb his nose and habits so you are not being seen, yet touching everything is not worth a row. Since childhood, I was taught that after using the toilet, touching the money and travel in public transport means it is necessary to wash your hands. But it turned out that this is not the only dangerous places.
Hazards
refueling nozzle
Today, rare gas station where the driver has to fill the car. But still they are there. If you drive, you also periodically run into it.
Remember, touching the fuel nozzle, you can pick up the disease, for example, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is not afraid of any antibiotics. Therefore, the objects and surfaces in public places without the need for it is better not to touch.
But there are cases where places and things do not seem to us the public, but in fact those are and are not less dangerous.
81% at room surfaces
Yes, that is how much percent of all surfaces in the hotel room has mastered E. coli. And do not look for the number of stars of institution, as to each maid still not put an overseer with a microscope, which will check the quality of its work.
Wipe clean items in the room - this is not your concern, but your concern - to preserve the health and well-being. So all what you are going to touch, it is better to wipe with antibacterial wipes. Pay special attention to the switches, the telephone, remote control and other items of frequent use.
Office kitchen surface
In some offices there are rooms that can be called the office kitchen. Here, employees are going to talk, cup of tea, Heat and eat your lunch. Lunch, the remains of which decompose and become a breeding ground for germs and disease-causing bacteria.
The irony: you wash your hands, to neutralize harmful microorganisms in contact with the faucet handles, which in 75% of cases caked with these same pests. So wash your hands away from such places or use disinfectant gels.
Gadgets
Smartphone, tablet and computer keyboards are a threat to your health, even if you are used to wash their hands thoroughly. On average, the smartphone shares with you 600 staph bacteria for one brief use. In general, in the case of your devaysa lives 18 times more pathogens than the toilet flush button.
Tips simple: do not bring Soup, when you go to the toilet, periodically wipe their special means for cleaning the screen and keyboard.
How to live now ?!
I imagine what the feeling is born by the end of this article. Someone has already run several times to wash your hands, and someone is indignant, remembering ancestors, who lived at times with all pets under one roof.
Therefore, I consider it necessary to add at the end the following:
- Not every contact with the above objects and surfaces leads to infection.
- Not every bad health costs associated with such a touch.
But if you do not want to play Russian roulette with your health or wondering where to attack, then just do not forget about the existence of dangerous surfaces, keep your home clean and the rules of personal hygiene. Nothing complicated.
