I know which I would have put my money on - and I bet you would have done too. But hey the answer is, your mobile phone!
Apparently toilets are fairly cold in general, don’t come into contact with much of your body (really) and are usually bleached every so often.
But when did you last clean your mobile phone?
Think about it:
- A huge number of people NEVER wash their hands after using the toilet, but then pick up their mobiles (or even use them when on the toilet), and happily make a call.
- Phones get warm when you use them and are usually kept somewhere warm, like a pocket or a handbag.
- You put your phone down on desks and tables so you can keep an eye on them.
- You make calls whilst eating and drinking.
- You press them to your face when making calls.
Hardly surprising that they are breeding places for germs then is it?
My advice is to get some antibacterial wipes and hope the screen doesn’t mist up when you use them.
