Minimising the spread of germs

You probably have some – if not all – of these germ-spreading habits. Here’s why you might want to rethink them.
Texting on the toilet

When nature calls, germs (including fecal matter!) are released into the air and can land on surfaces… like your phone. Even if you wash your hands before leaving the bathroom, that bacteria is still stuck on your screen. Leave your phone behind the next time you make a trip to the restroom.
Using bar soap

Sure, soap cleans hands, but bars are actually breeding grounds for germs when they’re used by multiple people. Opt for liquid soap formulas instead.
