Germ filled spot in your daily # 1: Grocery store
You may enjoy taking your grocery cart for a ride, but be aware. The shopping cart might just be breeding ground for various infectious viruses and bacterias.
Wondering how, the shopping cart plays host to bacteria? The answer is - customers sneeze, wipe their running nose and then directly touch the cart handles. At times, bacteria's also get transferred via leaky meat packages. Most of the bacteria's that are present on the shopping cart is E.coli.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 2: Your working desk
At times your desk can have more bacteria than a toilet place. The reason behind this could be lack of cleanliness. If you have lunch or continuously keep on snacking at your desk, wipe it off immediately with a disinfectant, or else the bacteria's will be an unwanted guest at your desk without your knowledge.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 3: Public bathrooms
When it comes to public bathroom, we are pretty sure everyone by know must be referring it as '5-star' place for bacteria's. The germs present in bathrooms mostly comprises of intestinal bacteria like E.coli which causes diarrhoea.
You will be surprised to know that there is not much risk from just sitting on the toilet. The risk comes when you touch the seat, door or sink with your hands and then touch your eyes, nose or mouth with the same hand.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 4: Your moolah!
Money is travelled from one place to another and is obviously handled by lot of people before it comes to you. This makes your cash full of germs and bacteria's. Since, you can't burn the precious note; just make sure you don't take it around your mouth, nose or eyes to be safe.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 5: Kitchen faucet
Your kitchen faucet can be host of various food-borne bacteria's because you frequently touch it and it is also close to your food. At times, we tend while handle meat we tend to touch the faucet with the same dirty hands. After this unintentional behaviour, your faucet will be zooming with bacteria's. To be safe, wash your hands and all kitchen surfaces before and after each meal preparation.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 6: Restaurants
No! We are not talking about food, but about the table where you will dine. The rags, that are used to wipe the table, may actually be spreading a bunch of E.coli bacteria's. As the same cloth is used to wipe all tables, the rag gets filled with bacteria's and kepp on transferring from one table to the other.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 7: Microwave in your office
As you everyone uses the same microwave to heat their food and it is associated with food, it can quickly accumulate germs.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 8: Swimming pools
A common pool is easily contaminated with hundreds of bacteria as it is used by many and cleaned less frequently. A pool can turn into a disaster when someone with diarrhea goes swimming as chlorine doesn't always kill the germs immediately. Besides, to make contaminate the pool more, some people also pee and spit in it.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 9: Switches or remotes
These are places we touch almost every day. After a tiring day at work, we convert our couch as a dining table, and eat and switch channels with the same hand. Bacteria from many different sets of hands and the remnants of couch-potato snacking has probably accumulated into a pool of germs.
Germ filled spot in your daily # 10: Your cell phone
Your cell phone comes into contact with hands many times over the course of a day, so it's likely to carry plenty of germs.
