Your phone is 7 times dirtier than the toilet seat

Your smartphone can be brilliant and brilliant, offering you everything from funerals to cat videos, with a draw on the screen, but if you are one of those who can not afford to leave it, you can change your mind once you know the number of germs that it carries.

A recent study published by the British Daily Mail in a Scottish university showed that the cell phone was 7 times dirtier than the toilet seat.

According to the study, phones protected by a leather bag harbor most bacteria, while those covered with plastic bags contain germs, which are estimated to be more than six times higher than those bathroom.
However, a survey of office staff showed that 2 out of 5 people had their phones with them when they entered the bathroom.

According to the study, the company has conducted a survey of smart phones and toilet seats using a portable device that can show live microbes on the surface in bright places.

The toilet seat, thus smoothed, had 220 bright spots at the point where the bacteria was deposited, but the average points appeared on the surface of the cell phone had risen to 1479.

"Analyzing a smart phone, it's like checking your manual to get rid of germs," ​​said Professor Hugh Pennington, a professor of microbiology at Aberdeen University. "You are likely to detect germs because of the close physical contact you have made with your device several times a day."

"There will be Norovirus-like viruses on phones at this time of year, but other types of germs on smart phones will likely come from bacteria, especially because of the fact that the phone goes between people, but the chance of becoming a disease is low. "

"However, it can be unacceptable to switch smart phones between people."
