Toilet seat may be more hygienic than your reusable bottle

Those who work or study must be used to the company of the good old bottle of water. For most of us, they are synonymous with hygiene and practicality. However, that notion could change very quickly, as a new study has shown that the water bottle can harbor more bacteria than the toilet seat, even when not shared.

Surprising amount of bacteria

One new study showed a different perspective on reusable water bottles, which surprised most people who read it. This is because, according to the study, there is a suggestion that the bottles may harbor more bacteria than a toilet seat. More specifically, the study points out that the bottle can have up to 40,000 times more bacteria than the seat.

Through this new study, scientists draw attention to the fact that objects can deceive us much more than we imagine. After all, even apparently safe surfaces can represent a source of contagion when in contact with specific regions of our body. In the case of the reusable bottle, the chances of contamination are high.

In addition, experts also warn that these bacteria, specifically, can be a source of stomach infections and are bacteria that are highly resistant to antibiotics. Also, the reusable water bottle was shown to have more bacteria than a pet's water bowl!

Should we stop using water bottles?

After reading the study, it is common that the first question that crosses our mind is about the use of water bottles. After all, can we use them or not? It is worth mentioning that the study is controversial, since contamination by water bottle is very low. Even because, the bacteria present in them are the ones that are already in our body.

Therefore, there is a greater risk when we share bottles and come into contact with bacteria that are in other people's bodies. In addition, constant hygiene is essential to keep the object always clean and avoid greater risks of contamination. So you can rest assured about using your bottle!
