It turns out this is one of the dirtiest items in public

An item that is antiseptic, so dirty that it contains many dangerous bacteria.

Well, after each use of toilet in public places, you should wash your hands, right? But what to do when even our washing soap box is more dirty than the place where you did the "big" thing ? It sounds like a joke, but it's real.

The idea is not dirty but dirty

In a study at the University of Arizona, experts collected all 132 samples of hand-washing soap sprays available at restaurants and public restrooms.

As a result, they found that 23% of them were so badly infected that after washing, your hands will be . dirty than they were.

Contaminated hand soap sprayer is worse than we thought.

Some bacteria recorded are Serratia marcescens, Enterobacter aerogenes and Klebsiella pneumoniae - pathogens of many dangerous diseases such as blood infection, meningitis .

More frightening, the researchers believe that the antibacterial soap solution does not " stuff " anything with the pathogen. Moreover, with some species that are able to metabolize chemicals in the solution, they will live happily in this environment.

In fact, the problem of soap can be studied for decades, but almost no one has ever understood its extent and scope, according to microbiologist Dave Shumanker.

Bacterial soap solution does not " stuff " anything with germs.

The types of bacteria in soap are opportunistic bacteria that are unforgivable, which can cause eye, skin, bladder and urinary infections.

They are also potentially dangerous for people with weakened immune systems, or for those who have just had surgery or severe burns.

So is there any cleaning method?

The researchers conducted the experiment and showed that, even if you take all the soap out of the box, disinfect it with detergent, then put in clean soap again and again "for two weeks, soap in the box will still be the same infection " - according to Shumanker.

So what if there is a "need" to solve in a public place? In fact, we just need to avoid reusable hand soap dispensers, if it's disposable soap, carefree.

Bottles like this will be much better.

Or if possible, take with you an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and use it instead. Limiting washing with water, even hot water can only remove very few bacteria on your skin.
