Canadian scientists were convinced that a popular means of hygiene, rather than to protect human health, it is able to infect infection. On paper towels researchers have found colonies of pathogenic bacteria.
Check for cleanliness was implemented in Universitetk Laval. Experts tested paper towels six different brands. And absolutely all of the samples were found bacteria Bacillus cereus, which are dangerous because they produce toxins that cause food poisoning in humans. Furthermore, Bacillus cereus can provoke diseases of the central nervous system, eyes, and lung. However, the concentration of bacteria in the paper towels is that it is absolutely healthy person does not threaten. But as you know, these people, there is little, but a lot of others - immunocompromised children, the elderly and people who use drugs, underestimate the immune system - and that for this category of the bacterium Bacillus cereus can be deadly.
Experts did not name the brand of paper towels, involved in the study, however Posyannya that these are the brands that are most often found in public restrooms.
Analysis showed that the number of bacteria in the recycled paper has appeared hundreds of times higher than the primary raw material of pulp. That is, not only towels, paper towels and toilet paper, and can carry the infection specialists insist that all of the paper products from recycled materials are habitat for harmful bacteria. Make such products are absolutely clean and free of germs, it is impossible in principle, because organic components papermaking - starch and various fillers - for micro-organisms are an ideal breeding ground.
