Your cellphone is dirtier than your toilet seat...

Today my sister told me about a story she read in one newspaper about a business man who keeps on getting sick. It has been found out that his sickness is all viral. In the long run, after some research, he found out that his cellphone is full of germs and viruses that caused him to be ill. I think there could be some truth about such claims because of the following reasons: 1. we don't clean our cellphone. We do clean our toilet seat more often come to think of it. 2. Our hand has lots of bacteria and germs and it gets constant contact with our cellphone...clean or not. 3. There are saliva on our cellphone...ours and other people who may get to use it. 4. It also gets in contact with our hair which has lots of dust and even air born germs. So let's all be careful and if your children has cellphones, do make sure that you get to clean them and disinfect regularly. Some people may think of me as paranoid but, better safe than sorry especially when to comes to my children.

i saw that on the news (foreign news channel) and they even dab a cotton on some celphones and went on microscopes to see what kind of bacteria, virus and fungi. and it has a lot really. so we really have to be careful and hygienic.

I'm not even sure why people use these cell phone things as often as they do. We did fine without them. If you wanted to phone someone, you just went to a pay phone. At least that way, nobody was getting into car accidents because of these dangerous little toys. I have a cell phone under my car seat. I have only ever used it once. It is for emergencies only. I keep it charged and have a phone card that I can use when I need it if I have car trouble. I don't even know the phone number.
