In almost all places on this earth, there are microbes or what we usually call germs. Germs can easily be found on all surfaces of objects including items at home, even in your own body.
On food and drinks do not rule out the possibility of germs. The air we breathe, the water used every day, plants that we plant, and pets that have been considered like friends are still inseparable from the presence of microbes. Luckily, most germs do not endanger themselves.
Even so, don't forget that some of the other types of germs mean that it is the potential to endanger health. If most germs can be overcome by the immune system, then a little of them is a formidable opponent. This tough germination can mutate continuously so that in the end can penetrate the human immune system.
Well, the sadness of these dangerous germs is increasingly easily spread due to negligence in caring for items, even at home, we consider to be a clean area. Not to mention the behavior that often does not heed personal hygiene.
Beware of hidden germs in your home
Items in homes in homes are usually something that we often use, both alone and share with other family members. We don't realize that the items we consider clean, can be inhabited by many germs. Beware of the following items:
Mobile phone
Activities in everyday life require us to move in an open room. Either any germs stick to our hands. Then we unconsciously hold a cellphone, not to mention losing him to friends.
Handbag
When we are busy moving when going to school or work, starting from when we move from the vehicle, sitting in the cafe, until it arrives at the office, all kinds of germs might have hit our bags. Who knows, maybe there are 16 million microbes that inhabit our handbag at home.
Toilet tissue container
When people take turns taking tissue or when refilling tissue to the container, a variety of germs and bacteria can be collected in it. Be careful, the tissue used is at risk of being carried away by germs so that which makes users risk experiencing bladder infections, uterine infections, and pneumonia.
Sponge for washing tableware
Medical research related to kitchen hygiene revealed that the dishwasher sponge can contain 200 thousand times more germs compared to the toilet holder. In other words, this sponge is a household appliance that can contain the most germs.
Behavior that facilitates the spread of germs
Having a clean residence is the first step lower the risk of rampant germs. But after that, the spread of germs was not just stopped. Some behaviors below should we stop.
- Forgot to keep my hands when colds and flu
Generally, someone will close his mouth when sneezing or coughing with naked hands. Such behavior will make it easier for germs to spread to others because hands are often used to come into contact with others.
- Immediately touch food
Directly touching the food served by hand that has not been clean then putting it in the mouth can also be the easy cause of spread germs. Foods left are likely to have been contaminated by germs from our hands and can then spread to others who also eat these foods.
- Prepare food in an inappropriate way
Raw food ingredients that want to be cooked are likely to contain a lot of germs. These germs can stick in hand and if the hand touches other foods, the germs can spread. If one of these food ingredients is served without being cooked, for example, a salad, the germs that have residences in these foods can spread and infect those who consume them. Generally, the symptoms that arise are abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and fever.
- Careless when handling the sick
Handling sick people can also be a powerful way to spread germs. This is very possible, especially if after holding a sick person then immediately touches others.
Stop being a germ spreader agent in this way
For the spread of germs, especially those that endanger health can be minimized, then some of these actions can be done:
Don't wander when sick
Going to the office or school when suffering from infectious diseases has the potential to make people who happen to be close to you experience pain too. Therefore, ask permission from superiors or the school to rest at home as long as you are sick.
Conversely, if there are friends or family members who are sick, try not to be too intense adjacent to them. If you have to take care of someone who is sick, use enough self protector and don't forget to wash your hands to avoid transmission to others.
Prepare a tissue during the flu
If you are forced to go to work or school, always prepare a tissue in your pocket. Use a tissue to cover your nose or mouth while sneezing or coughing so that the people around you are not infected.
Wash hands with soap
Wash hands with soap after holding objects or before eating is effective action in preventing you from becoming a free germ spreader agent. Washing hands with soap should also be done after using the bathroom.
Clean the house with a clean tool
If the house is cleaned with unpleasant tools, then what happens is the process of spreading germs to all parts of the house. To prevent it, take action against the following cleaning tools:
- If you can, use a disposable cloth. If you feel the cloth is still worth reusing, wash it first with disinfectant fluid.
- Make sure the brush is cleaned after being used, for it to wash regularly with a mixture of warm water and detergent liquid after use.
- Clean the floor with a clean mop cloth. Use two buckets where one bucket as a container of water with floor cleaners and other buckets filled with water to rinse. Clean all equipment with disinfectants and drain every time used.
Many things that can make the spread of germs cannot be controlled. Sadly, most of the causes of this are our actions. Seeing this fact, it should be for us to be more responsible for maintaining the environment and behavior.
