This is why you should think again before using the hotel hair dryer

In a secret investigation, the hotel hair dryer is one of the things to be wary of.

Nobody who travels but carries a hair dryer, simply because most hotels are equipped. However, perhaps you should think about using this very basic idea.

According to a secret investigation of the ABC site, hotels have too many problems related to hygiene. According to Chuck Gerba, microbiologist working with ABC, after taking samples from nine different hotels in the Los Angeles area, he felt . stunned with what he saw.

The hair dryer in the hotel contains a lot of germs.

"It's not clear what people did with hair dryers anymore, because they actually contain a lot of germs," Gerba said.

The survey noted that items such as hair dryers may be more dirty than wash basins and toilets, because they are often overlooked during cleaning. And who knows, maybe all day, for months or even years, that hair dryer has not been cleaned?

Notably, not only cheap motels have such a situation. According to ABC, Gerba took samples from hair dryers in many hotels, with prices ranging from 98 USD (2.2 million VND) to 500 USD (11.4 million VND) each night.

"The most worrying thing is that you can get diseases like flu or contact with viruses that cause diarrhea " - Gerba said - "Just a little dangerous microorganism will make you sick right away" .

If you can't cram a hair dryer into a backpack, just let your hair dry naturally.

Gerba also noted that images and prices may not go hand in hand with the health and safety of the hotel. According to him, some of the unusual items found in cheap hotels like plastic cups or ice packs seem to be cleaner than expensive items in luxurious places.

Therefore, in the next tour, if you can't cram a hair dryer into a backpack, just let your hair dry naturally. Anyway, you're going out to escape from the urban mess.
