Images show that smartphones can dirty 10 times the toilet

Mobile phones are also one of the 'dirty' technology items with 10 times more bacteria than toilets.

A scientific study has shown that the normal keyboard also has 100 times more bacteria than the toilet, while mobile phones are also one of the 'dirty' technology items. with the number of bacteria 10 times more than the toilet.

These bacteria cannot be seen with the naked eye, so we cannot know how much bacteria we have on our smartphone.

To study the level of bacteria on mobile phones today, some students at the University of Surrey microbiology have conducted some interesting tests. They took some samples of smartphone phones and then soaked them in Petri solution to stimulate the growth of bacteria. Help us easily observe with the naked eye.

In many cases, the detected bacteria are relatively harmless, but in some cases, the bacteria carrying Staphylococcus aureus have been detected. It is assumed that 20 percent of people carry long-term errors, which often lurk inside the nasal cavity.

Staphylococcus bacteria grow very strongly on some phones in the test.

After three days, the images get really shocking. Not only does the number of bacteria grow rapidly, in which the students also detect harmful bacteria that carry germs. These bacteria can spread easily through contact with surfaces, while using smartphones is too normal for anyone to think about having to wash their hands after holding the phone.

Many healthy people carry Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on their skin and in their noses without getting sick. But when the skin is punctured or broken, staph can enter the wound and cause an infection. It is a common cause of staph infections including food poisoning, impetigo and even sepsis.

Staphylococcus bacteria can survive on the skin without causing disease.But when these areas are damaged, these bacteria can cause blood infections and poisoning.

The students' experiments were conducted on the request of Dr. Simon Park at the University of Surrey. Dr. Simon said: 'The level of bacteria on these smartphones is 10 times higher than the permissible level, in which there are pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Bacillus that can be transmitted through the respiratory tract and through. Skin lesions if exposed. Therefore, smartphones can be a major risk factor for disease in modern society. '

One detected Bacillus mycoides. This bacterium is often found in soil, which shows that the phone or its use has been exposed to recent soil. Bacillus Mycoides are found in common pesticides and are used to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi.

This Bacillus bacterium is often found in soil and pesticide samples.

Several recent scientific studies have also warned that about 14.7 million mobile phones out of 63 million in the UK pose a threat to users' health.
