Some tablets and smartphones have 20 times more bacteria on their screens than a toilet roll, a study relevant to the fact that some mobile terminals have thousands of bacteria collected after months of use by their owners.
The "cleanest" tablet among the 60 mobile terminals participating in the test had 600 units of packets during an initial check, some of which could extremely quickly generate states of vomiting or diarrhea, so that users were in a very great danger.
If a toilet roll has on average about 20 units of bacteria, some smartphones had over 1000 and included dangerous bacteria such as E. coli or salmonella, and surely many of you know what danger these hide for the human body.
If these figures seem high to you, you should know that one of the tablets had no less than 15.000 units of bacteria in a check, four of the mobile phones and four keyboards checked registered a similarly high number of bacteria on the surface .
A typical toilet seat has a staphylococcus aureus count of less than 20. The test also found enterobacteria, which can include strains of infections such as E. coli and salmonella. The worst tablet had a count of 15,000 units per swab, with four phones and five keyboards also registering this level. Toilet seats typically had less than ten units per swab of enterobacteria.
Practically, our mobile terminals are real foci of infection, but many of you probably knew this and I told you a few months ago how many bacteria are there on the screen of an iPhone, but now you also know what dangers are hidden on the screens of your tablets.
Although some manufacturers do not recommend the use of cleaning solutions for the screens of mobile terminals, it is still advisable to wipe them with dry or wet servers to avoid illnesses.
