These habits seem hygienic, but they are actually very dirty!

In real life, there are many habits that look very hygienic, but they are actually very dirty. The following Xiaobian lists them one by one:

These habits seem hygienic, but they are actually very dirty!

1. Get up and fold the quilt

When sleeping at night, the body will secrete sweat. If you fold the quilt immediately after waking up, sweat and other secretions will remain in the quilt and cannot be volatilized normally. Over time, the quilt will have a sweat odor, creating good conditions for pathogens to reproduce and affecting people’s health and sleep quality.

2. Gouge out the rotten part of the fruit before eating it.

When there is rotten fruit, in order not to waste it, some people will gouge out the bad part and eat the “good” part. In fact, this practice seems to be hygienic, but it is actually very unhealthy! Although the rotten part of the fruit has been cut off, the remaining “good” part has also been introduced into the metabolites of bacteria. Eating rotten fruit often affects health.

3. Brush your teeth frequently

Enamel is the outermost tissue of teeth, which can protect the underlying dentin and dental pulp. If you brush your teeth frequently, the friction substances contained in the toothpaste will wear away the enamel, which will easily make the teeth lose their protective layer and create conditions for tooth decay. Therefore, it is enough to brush teeth 2-3 times a day.

4. Washing machine washing underwear

A professor from the University of Arizona in the United States has shown that if underwear is stained with about 0.1g of stool, then a pair of underwear may lead to an increase of 100 million Escherichia coli in the water, which easily makes the bacteria stay in the washing machine or remain on ordinary clothes. Therefore, underwear and underwear had better be scalded with boiling water alone.

5. Flush the toilet without cover

Many people do not have the habit of covering the toilet when flushing. In fact, doing so easily makes feces fly into the air, causing air pollution. When flushing without cover, the distance of water splashing can reach 1.83 meters. Therefore, it is best to cover the toilet before flushing.

6. Wash vegetables in the sink

The director of the infection control research center of the Long Island University Hospital in New York has said that there are actually many bacteria in the kitchen sink for washing vegetables. On average, there are more than 500000 bacteria per square inch. Washing vegetables in the sink can easily cause the breeding of E. coli and Salmonella.
