Did you know?Cell phones are great for sharing photos-and Bacteria

Yea!We all love our smart phones and tablets-a lot.But the next time you take your phone to a party ,hand it to a friend to share photos consider this:Bacteria from phone can cause flu,pink eye or diarrhea.And people are most likely to get sick from their phones as from handles of the bathroom.


According to a physician interviewed by the Wall street journal about hazards of taking your cell phone everywhere.A lab tested eight randomly selected phones and all phones showed abnormally high numbers of coliforms,a bacteria that indicates fecal contamination.Of the eight phones tested,there were between about 2,700 and 4,200 units of coliform bacteria.In drinking water,the limit is less than 1unit per 100ml of water.Tricky,isn't it?

Most household cleaners and disinfectant can harm your phone's screen or case.Thats why germophobes-including me-are on the high alert.Keeping close my gelly cologne which kills 99.9% of germs on hands and body.I advice you gets yours too
