Dirtiest Common Things That You Touch Every Day
The bacteria, although you can't see them, they're everywhere. The're on everything you touch, everything you eat, and they even live inside of you. These bacterias live not by ones or hundreds, but by millions of bacteria per square inch. All bacteria are not harmful, they're bacteria which are good and helps in stabilizing the life cycle process. In fact, your body is teeming with "good"� bacteria that do everything from help you digest your food to fight off all the bad germs. But what about the harmful bacterias which causes various bacterial infections that killed countless people every year. 15. Bathtub Unless you're cleaning your bathtub weekly then most likely whatever is lingering around your drain is going to be worse than whatever you find in your toilet. Staph infections, pneuomonia, septicimia, and urinary tract infections have all been caused by dirty tubs. 14. Light Switch Like numerous other entries on this list, light switches often suffer from the "never been cleaned" sydnrome. And after years of being flipped up and down by thousands of fingers they tend to end up with hundreds of bacteria per square inch. 13. Microwave Pads While you may keep your own personal microwave clean, how about at work? Even if you did decide to do everyone a favor by washing it down, just using soap and water won't be enough to get rid of all the grease. In fact, unless you attack it with bleach you'll have yourself a nice little bacteria colony growing right next to where you heat your food. 12. Elevator Buttons It shouldn't be too surprising to see these on here. They're pretty much exactly like switches except they get flipped way more often. 11. Mailbox Handles The same study that found crosswalks, ATM buttons, and parking meters to be bacteria hotspots also listed mailboxes right behind gas pumps as one of the most infested things people touch on their way to work. 10. Self Checkout at Supermarket While other types of checkouts aren't any cleaner, the supermarket only made the list because there is food involved, which means an increased chance of ingesting all that bacteria. 9. Money Generally speaking, the smaller the denomination the dirtier you can expect it to be with 1 dollars bills carrying numerous bacteria. That shouldn't be surprising though when you think about how often they change hands. Upon analyzing a randomly sampled stash of paper money, researchers at the Wright Patterson Medical Center in Ohio actually found that a majority of paper bills have enough bacteria to give someone with a compromised immune system (HIV or cancer) some serious problems. 8. Gas Pump Handles How often do you stop to fill up and at the same time get some food for the road? Hopefully only sporadically because eating those chips after touching that gas pump is almost like licking the hands of every person to have ever used it to fill their tank. Moreover, gas pumps are consistently ranked by studies as one of the dirtiest places that we regularly stick our hands. 7. Escalator Rails Topping the list of the world's most useless bacteria infested things, unless you find some pressing need to stabilize yourself, we suggest you stear clear of the hand rails. 6. Keyboard If you don't wash your hands after surfing the web at your local library then you might as well just never wash your hands because those keyboards are some of the worst offenders when it comes to germ infestations. Studies have even found bacteria like staph and E. coli on their surfaces. 5. Kitchen Sink With over half a million bacteria per square inch this is surely one of the dirtiest places in your house, and without a doubt far dirtier than anything in your bathroom will ever be. 4. Shopping Cart Researchers at the University of Arizona recently found that shopping carts had more bacteria, saliva, and fecal mater than public bathrooms, telephones, and even those nasty escalator handrails. For this reason many shopping centers are now offering wipes to clean off your shopping cart before entering the store. 3. Drinking Fountain With school fountains being the worst, they can have over 2.5 million bacteria per square inch on their spigots. That's over 5 times filthier than anything on this list so far. 2. Playground Equipment Although this is no secret to the parents among you, there is nothing on this planet dirtier than a kinder-gardener. Now imagine dozens of them swinging, crying, bleeding, and drooling all over brightly colored slides and staircases. Absolutely terrifying! 1. Your Mouth Most of those germs on the playground, in the elevator, and all over your keyboard came from one spot - The human mouths.
