The irradiated warmth of a cellphone’s interior is a vile, germ-infested bath loaded with more pathogens than any surface in your home, according to a study conducted by cell phone retailer Dial-a-Phone.
Dial-a-phone swabbed everyday household objects from toilet seats (which are actually very clean) to keyboards and the bottoms of shoes (which are not.) The results indicate that every time you heft that slab of plastic and silicon to your head, you’re not only risking a Scanners-like explosive demise, but a genuine risk of illness.
“The phones contained more skin bacteria than the any other object; this could be due to the fact that this type of bacteria increases in high temperatures and our phones are perfect for breeding these germs as they’re kept warm and cozy in our pockets, handbags and brief cases. These bacteria are toxic to humans, and can cause infections if they have the opportunity to enter the body.”
