1. Eating chopsticks
Many housewives believe that if chopsticks are not broken, they will not be lost, so many families have been using chopsticks for at least 1 year. However, many studies have shown that a pair of chopsticks contains thousands, millions of bacteria. Not all of them are harmful. But when the human immune system decreases, especially in the elderly, it will be very likely to cause diseases related to the respiratory tract, attack the stomach causing gastritis, disrupt the environment in the intestines causing nausea, diarrhea.
Advice: Replace chopsticks after 3-6 months for best results.
2. Foot mat
Foot mats are familiar items in every family. However, aside from absorbing water, this item also absorbs dirt so that the feet are clean, so it has become one of the most bacteria-infested items in the house. Therefore, families should periodically replace foot mats.
Advice: Replace foot mats every 6 months to protect the health of the family, especially the elderly and young children.
3. Face towels
Below are the main reasons, explaining why face towels need to be changed regularly and frequently:
Face towels frequently come into contact with water, if not dried, they will create an ideal moisture for bacteria to grow.
Face towels are usually kept in the bathroom – a damp environment, which also provides conditions for hidden and growing bacteria.
Every time you use a face towel, bacteria on the face and other sources will stick to the towel.
Typically, these bacteria do not have much effect on your health. However, if your face has open wounds or your immune system is compromised, they can very likely cause illness.
