SKIRMISHER

This is indeed some shocking news:

Mobile phone retailer Dial-a-Phone conducted the study taking swabs from everyday objects and analyzing the bacteria found on them. The shocking results found that there’s more muck on our mobiles than the average door handle, keyboard, and bottom of a shoe or even a toilet seat.

The study found that without cleaning and disinfecting your mobile phone and keyboard on a regular basis, more bacteria could spread potentially causing illness.

The research confirmed the presence of skin bacteria including staphylococcus aureus on the phone, keyboard, toilet seat and door handle. The shoe in contrast had bacteria from the soil and air.

It’s particularly extremely disturbing for a tech-savvy, always-connected urban professional like myself. Because I don’t only carry around my mobile phone everyday, I also put it regularly in my mouth and lick it like a thirsty dog when I’m nervous. Now that explains the funny taste.
