a new study has found that hands are dirtier than public places. Bacteria in human hands are more harmful to health than park benches and public elevator handrails. But even so, only one of the eight people washed their hands before meals.
whether on park benches or public elevator handrails, the number of bacteria in these places is far less than that carried by hands. This shows that our hands are the culprit of our illness, not those dirty cafes and restaurants. The laboratory collected 25 specimens collected from tables, chairs, armrests and children’s toys. It was found that these seemingly stained things actually contain very few Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli, which can be fatal. These public goods contain very few bacteria, and the number of bacteria in the benches with the most bacteria is only 33000. The number of bacteria in a normal hand reaches 10 million, and the number of bacteria in a kitchen sponge is tens of millions. At the same time, another study shows that 92% of people deliberately avoid dirty tables and chairs, which is called health consideration. Ironically, less than 13% of people wash their hands before meals.
two years ago, a British study showed that 26% of human hands contained fecal bacteria. The United Nations also estimated that washing hands before meals alone could save millions of people from diarrhea and respiratory infections“ This situation shows that if people deliberately avoid common sense, they will do harm to their own bodies. ” “Our hands often touch our mouths. We eat through our hands, which also makes our hands the source of disease,” said Paula Loew, founder of water organization Another study shows that a quarter of people carry a lot of germs after lunch. After a party, the hands, handbags and mobile phones of 300 people were taken as specimens. Among these 234 people, 56 people’s hands contain a large number of bacteria, which is likely to cause cross infection.
the dirtiest hands contain four times the bacteria. Experts show that washing hands with soap can reduce the bacterial content. Experts recommend washing hands in 30 seconds, while most people only wash hands in 15 seconds. A quarter of the respondents admitted that they had never washed their hands after blowing their nose, while 27% said they had never washed their hands after using public transport. Experts suggest that people should wash their hands every four hours.
