Since smartphones have become the main tool for communicating and communicating with others, it seems that it is not possible to separate the phone from the hand, and that it has become an integral part of the hand and fingers.
Since it's hard to get rid of the smartphone and come with us wherever we go, many of us take the phone with them even to the bathroom (toilet) although we know how special this place is for more than one reason.
Many take the opportunity to take the phone with them to the bathroom to do a lot of tasks, between browsing text messages, emails or social networking sites and perhaps talking to others over the phone.
However, based on research and studies, this behavior is undesirable and involves great risk.
The British newspaper Mirror used three scientists to determine how dangerous the phone was to use the bathroom and how to reduce it if one was unable to abandon the habit.
For scientists, the risk is to pick up harmful bacteria that may be present in the baths for one reason or another.
Scientists have identified some harmful bacteria that may be present in bathrooms, such as Salmonella, E. coli and C. Daviesel, pointing out that they may be transmitted to the same person, to the phone, and perhaps to others (friends in particular) if they are given the phone to see or read something.
The bacteria may be found at the hands of bathroom doors, faucets or any other equipment in the bathroom, and these bacteria will move to people as soon as they touch them, they said.
"Handwashing and disinfecting will not prevent disease or the bacteria go back into his hands," sterilization expert Lisa Ackerley said. "It does not sterilize the book or its smart phone.
Ron Cutler, director of biomedical sciences at Queen Mary University in London, said the best solution to prevent the transmission of bacteria to humans was to avoid taking the smartphone with him.
He stressed that the extent of the risk lies in how dirty or clean the bathroom, specifically warning of public baths or shared.
