It is often heard that people talk about “cleanliness”. One of the most typical characteristics of people with cleanliness addiction is that they don’t like others to touch anything belonging to them psychologically and physiologically. It is almost impossible to share the same thing with others, strangers and family members.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, it is a bit too clear to be separated from your family. In fact, although family members are close, it is better not to share some things, otherwise it will bring health hazards.
it’s better not to share these things at home:
type I: toothbrush, razor, nail clipper
These small items have a common feature after use, that is, they are easy to break skin or bleed, and once body fluid exchanges, they may suffer from infectious diseases.
1. Toothbrush
If your family has infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS, and gum bleeding occurs during brushing, sharing a toothbrush will spread infection through body fluids and harm your health.
2. Razor
It is a potential danger to spread hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and even HIV through sharing razors. Shaving can often cause skin abrasion or small cracks. If one of the razor sharing people is infected with the above virus, it may cause cross infection through the unsterilized blade.
The razor should be used alone, and the razor should be cleaned in time after each use. Wash the inside of the razor head and the stubble storage tank with hot water for about 30 seconds. If it can be removed, it is best to remove it for cleaning, then dry it and put it away.
3. Nail clipper
When repairing nails, if you break the skin carelessly, sharing a nail knife may infect bacteria transmitted through the blood, such as hepatitis C virus and Staphylococcus aureus.
Manicure tools should be used separately, and it is better not to use a pair of nail clippers for hands and feet to prevent foot inflammation from infecting hands. Wipe with disinfectant alcohol after use.
the second category: toothpaste, comb, earphone, towel basin
although these things are not easy to cause bleeding, they can also cause cross infection
1. Toothpaste
It’s better not to share toothpaste. Sharing toothpaste may cause cross infection of oral diseases. In particular, if one person in the family catches a cold or suffers from oral diseases, during the friction between toothpaste and toothbrush, viruses and bacteria will be transmitted to other people’s toothbrushes.
Moreover, everyone’s oral condition is different, so it’s best to use toothpaste for “symptoms”. People with periodontal disease can choose some Chinese herbal toothpaste or anti-inflammatory toothpaste; People with dental caries can choose some fluoride toothpaste to avoid further tooth lesions; Those with smoke stained teeth can choose whitening toothpaste; Etc. changing the type of toothpaste often is good for tooth health.
2. Comb
It is also unsanitary to share a comb with my family to comb my hair. The whole family is very healthy. Maybe sharing a comb will not cause any accident. But if someone in the family has ringworm of the head, and the comb is used by a healthy person, it may spread ringworm of the head to a healthy person.
Therefore, do not share the comb. Besides, it should be cleaned regularly. For plastic combs, use an abandoned toothbrush to brush with toothpaste. Wooden combs or corner combs can be cleaned with wool. Hold the wool with both hands and move it up and down in the teeth of the comb. After cleaning, it is OK.
3. Towel Basin
Some families are accustomed to several people washing their hands and faces with a basin of water, and then sharing a towel to wipe. In fact, when the first person washes his face or hands, dirty things have been left in the water. If one person in the family suffers from infectious diseases, the germs are also likely to be transmitted to other people through water or towels.
In order to be safe, try to wash your hands and face with flowing water. Towels and basins must be used separately, and towels should be taken out to dry. High temperature cooking and disinfection should be carried out regularly.
4. In ear earphone
In ear earphones are like a bus, and the earwax is the passengers. Without ears, it will be constantly contaminated with other external bacteria. The moment you put them back in your ears, they enter your ears. It happens that earwax has a protective effect on harmful bacteria in the outside world, and also helps them reproduce.
Sharing headphones with others is tantamount to bringing other people’s bacteria into your ears, or introducing new bacterial species, which may cause ear infections and even more serious systemic diseases.
So you should not only not share your earplugs with others, but also disinfect them regularly, at least once a week. First of all, wipe off the dirt and earwax residue stuck on it, and then wipe the earphone with cotton or cotton swab dipped in disinfectant alcohol, but be careful not to damage the internal circuit of the earphone.
In any case, the more personal items are, the more cautious they should be. At this time, it’s better to be a little “clean.”~
