Going to the toilet with a smartphone or tablet has become a common habit these days, but according to scientists, it is very dangerous. This puts you at risk of infection with bacteria such as E. coli or Salmonella, which can seriously damage your device. How do you ask? Dr. Lisa Ackerley has the answer: “If you dry off and then pick up the phone, you might not even bother washing your hands because all the germs you put on your phone will end up on your hands,” she says.

so what do we do? Well, according to Dr. Ron Cutler, it’s right not to take your phone into the shower: “Basically, you shouldn’t [take your phone into the bathroom] if you’re at all concerned about virus transmission and fecal infections. He also says that the level of infection depends on the location of the bathroom. – The office may not be a problem, but public toilets greatly increase the risk of infection. Viruses can be transmitted by anything, not only through hands or air. A single toilet flush can travel five feet from the flush and land on your toothbrush, so it must be in a locked cabinet.

Germs can live on your phone for days! “Phones get a little warm, which creates a warm and pleasant environment for bacteria. If people touch treats and leave a sticky coating on the phone, this is the best place for bacteria to live. That’s why it’s so important to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
