You think you are helping the environment by not wasting but in fact you are allowing other things to pester and produce....huh. Can you win?
Item #6: Refillable liquid soap dispensers
According to Gerba, fecal bacteria grows in refillable soap dispensers. “You can get as many as 10 million bacteria on your hands every time you use one,” he says. “They grow in the soap.”
Protective Step: Don’t use them! Buy a new soap dispenser when you run out.
Also, WARN the MEN! ( I never would of thought of this!)
Item #3: Men’s wallets
Even germier than women’s handbags, the inside of a man’s wallet seems to be a breeding ground for microbes. Gerba says the wallet likely functions as an incubator. “You’re sitting on it and you’re keeping all your money and anything that’s degradable nice and warm and there is higher moisture content.”
Protective Step: Don’t load your wallet up with papers, and if you can, keep your dollar bills in a separate compartment. Whenever possible, pull your wallet out of your back pocket and let it breathe.
Most of the other items we know about, door knobs, buggys, phones, cars, etc,.,.... but in case you are interested: (important to remember, germs make the world go round. Without them we would be over run with Super Bugs!)
