Advertorial: Killers in your bathroom

Diseases never discriminate and no one has complete immunity against infection. All we can do is decrease the likelihood of being infected and by being as hygienic as possible. Proper hygiene practices go a long way in ensuring that one stays healthy. Sanitation practices start in your own home, especially the bathroom, since that’s the favorite breeding ground for bacteria.

A recent study conducted by Unilever’s Global Research Centre has revealed some disturbing insight into the hygiene levels in bathrooms. The research brought to light some startling facts: Over EIGHTY species of bacteria were found in the bathrooms surveyed, responsible for causing diseases like typhoid, diarrhea, fevers and ulcers. The study has managed to prove that toilets that look visibly clean can be deceptive and have thousands of micro bacteria lurking around them, which are invisible to the naked eye!

These harmful beasties are prowling all over your bathroom, especially the hotspots like the toilet seat. Common germs include the gastro-intestinal viruses that are found on the toilet seats and cause stomach ailments in humans. They are easily transmitted and can survive on solid surfaces for as long as a week. Other dangerous pathogens include E- Coli, Salmonella, shigella, and campylobacter. These could cause severe and deadly forms of diarrhea, and bloody stools.

But before you evacuate your bathroom, here’s the good news: if you clean regularly and practice basic hygiene for your toilet, you can minimize the risk of catching these deadly infections.
