Researchers at the University of Houston collected samples from 18 surfaces in nine rooms at Texas, Indiana and South Carolina, according to Reuters. They were trying to figure out the overall level of bacterial contamination and the presence of fecal bacteria. Fecal bacteria were found on almost all surfaces - 80 percent of the samples. Researchers believe: this is due to the fact that the hotel cleaning is the same cloth or sponge. And bacteria "drags" from room to room.
But as it turned out, the dirtiest hotel rooms - the TV remote control switches and lamps.
- These items are even dirtier than the rim of the toilet bowl! - Outraged experts say. - Apparently, they never wiped.
But headboards, curtain rods and handles in the bathroom turned out to be cleaner than most.
Scientists recommend: Use a disinfecting liquid and antibacterial wipes when I come to the hotel. After all, people with weakened immune systems Jae one night in a hotel facing serious problems.
BTW
But the dirtiest in the office - telephones in men
Biologists at the University of San Diego looking for bacteria in the workplace, already surveyed 90 offices in three different cities. They found 500 different species of bacteria!
Swabs were taken from the surfaces of chairs, phones, desktops, computer mice and keyboards. Bacteria live everywhere. But most of them on the office phone and chairs upholstered material.
Distributor of bacteria was himself ... man! Sneezing or coughing, he spread around not only the bacteria (in large quantities - from the gastrointestinal tract), but also the skin cells, which are so fond of pathogens.
Especially the presence of unnecessary "living creatures" sin tables men. Scientists cautiously suggest that the whole matter is that men are bigger than women, they have more skin. And they do not like to turn away from the screen during a sneeze. But, most likely, the case in the usual untidiness ...
