It is the common habits of the people today with a smartphone that they bring even in the comfort room to listen to music or continuing chatting with their friends in any social media. it is very dangerous because the person doing this may expose too the risk of bacteria such as e-Coli or salmonella which can contaminate your body system. People are asking why? According to Dr. Lisa Ackerley this is the answer to your curious question" If you wipe your bum then pick up your phone, you may as well not bother washing your hands because all the bacteria you put on your phone will end up back in your hands,”
If this is the result of bringing your mobile phone to the comfort room. What shall you do to avoid this infection that will contaminate your body system? It is better not to bring your mobile phone inside the comfort room and continuing chatting and listening to the music. Dr. Ron Cutler said "Basically, you just shouldn’t (take your phone into the toilet) if you are at all concerned about the transfer of viruses and fecal contamination."
He also added the level of infection in the toilet or comfort room may vary depends on the location.In the office, it might be minimal but in the public toilet which many people are using the risk of infection is high. The bacteria and viruses can be transferred by any means not just by hands but by air. A spray in the comfort room can travel in almost six feet from the toilet bowl so it is better to always close the cupboard so that the viruses and bacteria in it will not travel into your area when it is not in use. The germs, bacteria, and viruses that come to your mobile phone can survive in many days.
Dr. Cutler added "Phones heat up a little bit giving bacteria a nice warm environment. If people handle sweets and leave a sticky coating on the phone, that’s an even better place for bacteria," that's important of washing your hands very well with soap and water and even use sanitizer after washing your hands every time you go to the comfort room.
