The Hazards of Taking Your Phone to the Toilet: Health Risks and Germ Exposure

In this digital age, who doesn’t have a smartphone addiction? Because it is clear to all of us that so many people have smartphone addiction today.

Most people know what smartphone addiction is. In other words, it can be said simply that you cannot spend much time without your smartphone while you are awake. This is a state of mind that cannot be separated from the smartphone.

A large number of these people take their phones with them even when they go to the toilet. But the habit of taking the phone to the toilet is not very good.

No phone in the toilet…

First, when we take our phone to the toilet, we end up spending more time in the toilet without realizing it. It is harmful to health in many ways.

Sitting on the toilet for more than ten-fifteen minutes can lead to diseases and health conditions like urinary tract infections, other infections, digestive system disorders and acne.

Apart from this, there is a possibility that the germs from the toilet can be caught on the phone and they can reach the house through the phone. Health experts point out that pathogenic bacteria and others can enter the body through food, water and touch and cause various problems.

According to the report of a study conducted in the United States, 74.5 percent of people take their phones to the toilet. But only 16 percent people clean their phones. According to a study by researchers from the University of Arizona, people who have the habit of taking their phones to the toilet can see ten times more germs on their phones than on the toilet seat.

What can be done?

In the past, there were people who used to carry magazines, books or newspapers while going to the toilet. A new version of this is using a smart phone.

However, it is always better for health to change all these habits. It has nothing else to do. Slowly put the phone away and go to the toilet. This change can be difficult at first because of the addiction. But gradually we can get into this healthy habit very effectively.
