Why You Shouldn't Use Your Phone In A Toilet Again by jchima14: 9:50pm On Mar 30, 2016 |
After Reading This You Will Never Use Your Phone In A Toilet Again [THE SUMMARY] Sometimes we all take a phone into the toilet. But it is a very dangerous habit! You can expose yourself and others to germs like salmonella, E. Coli and C. “If you wipe your bum then pick up your phone, you may as well not bother washing your hands because all the bacteria you put on your phone will end up back on your hands,” hygiene expert Dr. Lisa Ackerley told.So what we all should do? Dr. Ron Cutler, director of biomedical science degrees at Queen Mary’s University London, said: “Basically, you just shouldn’t (take your phone into the toilet) if you are at all concerned about the transfer of viruses and fecal contamination.” He said that levels of contamination vary widely depending on where the toilet is. A small office may not be a problem, but a hospital or a cruise ship where viruses may be circulating are different. Remember, viruses transfer not only by hands. It is the main way, but not the only one. “Spray could travel around six feet from the flush,” Dr. Ackerley said. That’s why you shouldn’t leave your toothbrush close to the toilet and put your phone down on the toilet roll holder or any shelf that might be there. By the way, germs could survive up to a couple of days on your phone! “Phones heat up a little bit giving bacteria a nice warm environment,” Dr. Ron Cutler said. “If people handle sweets and leave a sticky coating on the phone, that’s an even better place for bacteria.” So don’t forget to wash your hands with soap and water and leave the phone in your bag before visiting the toilet!

Person wey dey sh.it nor dey laugh! BTW: A friend of mine in the Universty had this as his project topic: 'Prevalence of E. coli And Other Microorganisms On The G.S.M Handset'. OP,you may not be far from the truth you know,going by the results of his lab experiment. But then, when you take your phone to some Conveniences like the ones posted above,you will have no other choice than to agree with me that "there are exceptions to every rule". |
