Fight Germs Home Upwave, — Even if you’re one of the many people who believe that exposing yourself to day-to-day germs is healthy for your immune system, it’s still wise to take steps to protect yourself from the most infectious germs in your home.
“Bugs like Escherichia coli (E.coli), salmonella and campylobacter can make you pretty sick or even kill you,” says Douglas Powell, professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, and author of Barfblog.com.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that seven pathogens cause about 90% of these illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths. Scientists dub them “food-borne illnesses” because they’re microbes that invade your body through the gastrointestinal tract. (Considering that we put our hands to our faces anywhere from 18 to 40 times per hour, is it any surprise that our mouths are the primary point of entry?)
You’ll recognize the poisoning by the fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea that results.
Luckily, it isn’t too hard to eliminate the dangerous microbes you may unknowingly drag into your home.
