It is not without a towel, it is versatile, especially that we use for the body and skin, but what many people do not know is that these towels are an environment that spores bacteria and bacteria, as it keeps the moisture inside.
Experts say that a bath towel may seem harmless, but in reality it may be crowded with deadly germs. According to the website of the British newspaper "The Sun"
And bacteria can live in towels for a few hours, days, or even months, because they retain moisture according to the material they were made of, and this means that changing them at least once a week is very important.
And you should be sure to hang them in an open place that helps dry them out, to reduce the multiplication of germs, and most importantly, the towels are purely personal and not to be shared with anyone, including your partner or any member of your family or one of your friends.
"Warm, wet towels are the breeding environment for germs, and if used repeatedly by different people, they may not have the opportunity to dry completely, allowing bacteria to grow," says Diana Gal, of Doctor 4 U.
She explained that the biggest fear lies in the possibility of infection with E. coli bacteria, as poisoning with it can be so dangerous that it may threaten life in certain conditions, and it may also cause urinary tract infections such as cystitis.
Another common risk is staph infection, as it can travel from towels to the human body if exposed to any type of wound. These bacteria may also lead to a serious infection known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and bacillus to antibiotics.
