There are germs everywhere and you touch at least five germs carrying objects daily:
- The door knob- do you open the door with your hands wrapped in gloves or toilet rolls? If you don’t, others aren’t too. Door knobs are dirty germs carriers.
- Money- that piece of currency has completed God-know-how-many cycles, touching different hands, sitting in funny places before getting into your hands.
- Laptop keyboards- who wipes the keyboard daily? Not until we see dusts and dirt. Think about how many times different hands have touched that keyboard or how many spills it has encountered. You don’t want to check how much germs it abhors with a microscope.
- Your bestie’s hands – she’s touched similar things you have touched today. And you eagerly clasp hands when you see…the dirty chain continues!
- Your cell phone – Think about where you use your phone (everywhere including toilets and kitchens) and where you put (anywhere including bags and dirty pockets). Now think about the multitude of surfaces, door handles and light switches you touch, the number of people you share your phone with and the number of faces it has touched. Your phone is picking up germs from everywhere and most times we just don’t care enough to wipe it with a sanitizer. Your phone is where the germs party hard; toilets get sanitized, do you sanitize your phones?
