The Problem:
Fecal bacteria can survive on hands and surfaces for hours, and every year 3.5 million children succumb to pneumonia and diarrheal diseases as a result. If the movie Contagion taught us anything, it's that disease-carrying substances transfer easily and that we put them in contact with our faces way too many times.http://www.theatlantic.com/life/arch...e-coli/246628/
Conclusion:
Britons may not be washing (and drying) their hands effectively, as one in six mobile phones in Britain is contaminated with fecal matter. Or, as researcher Ron Cutler puts it in a news release, "People may claim they wash their hands regularly but the science shows otherwise."
A lot of bacteria is found on keyboards too. We need to make the frequent washing of hands a habit.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
