The places that seem to be inconspicuous areas could be dangerous to our bodies and environment. Reasons being is that germs spread through what is called 'spores'; A microscopic reproductive organism that is responsible for spreading infectious diseases. The top ten most contagious germs spreading environment are listed below:
- Bar Soap
Many would not think that this would be at the top as persons think that soap is the antidote against bacteria but let's look at these facts: When your hands are dirty, what do you use to wash it? You see, many persons target the bar soap and that is where all the germs are lodged. Some persons do not wash off the soap before using it. This is the reason you see dispensers in restrooms instead of bar soaps. However, the virus called Norovirus or C Difficlle is known for its resistance against alcohol based hand cleansers. Constant running water can and will remove this stubborn virus. - Nuts and Cocktail Party Containers
If you are at a bar or social gathering and offered peanuts in the same containers, respectfully decline. Here is why: Your fingers are the hundredth or possible thousandth that will dip into the container! There are hundreds of germs that pass through these public gatherings. The best way to serve nuts is to dispense them straight from the container in a small dish or clean paper towel. - Restroom Keys
Have you ever been to a restaurant, gas station or library and offered a key when you asked to use the restroom? Imagine this: There are hundreds of thousands of germs that is passed onto these keys.While we rely on each person to practice good hygiene, it is not always perfect, so we need to cover ourselves. When the keys are issued, use a hand towel to hold it. After using the restroom, return in same manner politely. - Handbags
A Lady's handbag is her pride, joy, and treasure but it is also the most dangerous carriage of germs. This is why: You place the handbag on the floor to fetch your keys to open your door, then it goes from your shoulder to the dinner table or the kitchen counter. In addition, you take it to the restroom with you and go back and forth to your desk at work. To remedy this dirty practice (no pun intended), purchase a purse large enough to put your credit card and money separate from your handbag and keep it in your hand at all times. Take what you want from it and return same to your handbag. For security reasons, this is also a good practice. - Pets
Some persons who love pets may not want to see this but, yes, your pet is also susceptible to germ spreading. If you do not care your pet properly, it could be you worst enemy when it comes to contagious bacteria. Bathe your pet regular and take it to get regular shots. Monitor their movements and see where they hangout. It may sound silly but your pet should be a part of your household just like a family. - Cell Phone
Your cell phone should be the number one carrier of germs but since it rarely goes out of your sight, on the counter and other places,I would still keep it at number 6. One reason why your phone is a target is that you keep it away from water to keep it from being damaged. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will wash your hands immediately, before use. One suggestion is to keep it in a glove or protector, peel it off, wipe or wash it (cover) periodically. - Gas Pump
Most gas station have"do it yourself" pumps and thousands of motor vehicle owners use these pumps. As I have mentioned before, the more we invite the public to handle things, the more germs are transmitted Use a glove or rag to hold the pump or wipe your hands with antibacterial cleaner afterwards. - Internet Cafe'
When you use an Internet cafe' key boards and mouse pads, you are shaking thousands of fingers indirectly. Though you can't prevent this you can safeguard yourself by wiping off the keyboard before use. In addition, you must wash your hands after using the computer. - Subway Train Rails
Daily commuting by subway contributes to germ spreading. Caution must be exercised when travelling frequently via this medium. Take a sanitizer with you at all times and use it after and before you use the subway to travel daily. - Airborne
The air we live in is an inescapable trap for various airborne viruses. The only way we can reduce the likelihood of contracting disease is to: Stay healthy, eliminate critical foods that breakdown your immunity and last but not least, reduce your gluten intake and have your daily recommended dosage of vitamin C as this help to build your immunity.
