Public restrooms are unsanitary, but a new study from SafeHome.org — Germs In Your Home Bathroom – show that bacteria in our own homescan lead to serious health issues.
More than 500 people were surveyed (274 women and 230 men) and a surface culture analysis was performed on a range of bathroom surfaces.
Here are some of the key findings:
·81% of men and 73% of women urinate in the shower
·Fecal matter is found in tooth brush bristles
·57% of respondents have found mold on their shower curtains. Mold can cause death.
·4-times per month versus 2.8 times for men
