Maintaining hygiene

If you take it with you to the toilet, it will very likely become contaminated with E. coli bacteria or salmonella. It does not even matter how careful you are when observing hygienic habits.
Pathogenic organisms can settle not only on the skin of your hands, but can also live freely on the phone display – a great warm place where they can survive for several days.

Infections
The consequences of an infection by harmful bacteria can be catastrophic. Nausea, vomiting, cramps, stomach problems. A salmonella infection can in some cases even lead to death.
