There's no area that SEEMS more contaminated with germs than a men's public restroom.
--So this is pretty mind-blowing: According to a study, your cell phone has almost 18 TIMES more living bacteria on it than the toilet handle in a men's public restroom.
--Cell phones are perfect spots for bacteria to thrive: We touch them constantly without washing our hands . . . keep them stored in warm places like pockets and purses . . . and rarely ever clean them.
--In the study, researchers swabbed 30 cell phones and found that about one out of four had bacteria levels that were high enough to give a person stomach problems.
--The website Ranker.com recently put together a list of the 10 dirtiest things you touch every day. And cell phones came in fourth, behind money, light switches, and computer keyboards.
--The rest of the top 10 are toilet seats, shopping carts, remote controls, bathtubs, kitchen sinks, and sponges.
