Earphones Earphones are something that people hardly think twice about sharing, but they provide the perfect method for germs to transfer from person to person, and can cause serious problems. The reason for this is that ears are moist, dark areas that offer bacteria the perfect environment to grow. Even ear wax is teeming with live bacteria, all of which are unique to each of us. The fact that wearing earphones will block the wax from leaving has been shown to increase bacteria levels in the ear by up to 11 times the usual amount. Add this to their propensity for picking things up from the unclean surfaces that they are left on, like tables and desks, and they quickly become efficient transport methods for bacteria that can result in things like middle ear infections, fungus, swimmer’s ear, and, if you have a cut near your ear, a chance of catching a strep infection. The solution here is simple—either don’t share your earphones, or make sure you thoroughly clean them after use so they aren’t infectious. 11. Towel Towels are, quite simply, the most germ infested objects in any home, and one of the last things you would ever want to share with anyone else. This applies to both kitchen and bath towels, which all retain moisture for long amounts of time and allow bacteria to grow. A study by the university of Arizona found coliform bacteria, which is present in feces and can cause food poisoning and diarrhea. This is mainly because they are used to wipe hands and surfaces that may have been in contact with raw meat. In the bathroom they are used to dry all of the nooks and crannies, and can be very effective at transferring bacteria from person to person. It’s therefore advisable to regularly clean your towels, and make sure they are properly cleaned by washing at high temperatures. If this isn’t done they can also transfer germs to other clothes in the washing machine or laundry basket, and lead to lots of health complications. 10. Soap Remember that episode of friends when Joey reminds Chandler of the last place he washes with the soap in the shower? Well, he had a point, because despite the cleaning qualities of bar soap, it can harbor germs and bacteria within the slime that is left on the outer surface. It’s unlikely that you can pick up anything too nasty, though, unless you have a compromised immune system, so the best advice is to rinse the soap bar before use, and store it away from any water so it has a chance to dry off. You share many of the same microorganisms with other members of your family, so if you share soap at home there won’t be a problem, but if you have no choice but to use one in a public restroom you should make sure you thoroughly wash the soap, and then your hands, to make sure your don’t catch anything. 9. Musical Instruments You may not think twice about sharing musical instruments, especially at school, but it’s possible to catch a whole load of viruses and infections from them- meaning it’s important to be careful. Of course, the concern isn’t so much with an instrument like a guitar or piano where only your hands are coming into contact with it, but woodwind and brass instruments are a different story, and can provide bacteria with the ideal conditions to pass between people. The reeds of woodwind instruments need to be moist to work properly, so they are soaked in saliva during use. Brass instruments often will collect deposits of saliva within the curves. Studies have shown that germs can survive in these environments for a number of days, so can easily be passed on to another person who shares the same instrument. In fact, researchers that were looking into the problem found traces of bacteria, mold and yeast in virtually every one they tested.
