Who is More Nasty, Men Or Women?

Men are usually more ignorant than women when it comes to cleanliness. But a study says another. While men tend to be dirty and less attention to hygiene problems, but the survey results showed women who more obscene. Why?.

Based on a survey conducted in 113 offices in 5 cities in Arizona, United States, researchers found that women, especially women office contains more bacteria and fungi on the desk than men. That's because more women deviated items like food, makeup tools, cell phones, wallets and other trinkets.

Yet strangely, the bacteria MRSA, - one of the most malignant bacteria and humans can eat dagung, - it is more commonly found in places like the telephone man, and the computer mouse under desk shelves. Dr. Gurba, one of the researchers said the study had to be done further research to determine the cause.

Office is known as a place that most bacteria multiply. "The bacteria that remained on the keyboard, mouse, and the table can grow 400 times more bacteria than toilet seats. This is because although more dirty toilets, but more often cleaned with disinfectant," said Charles Gerba, microbiological from the University of Arizona's Department of Soil, Water and Environmental Science, as quoted from the Wallstreet Journal, Monday (5/10/2009).

A study funded by the disinfecting company, Procter & Gamble and Clorox also mention other places where the risk of being breed bacteria. "The greatest risk is a bacterial breeding place objects or the room most used for activities," said Gerba.

At home, the kitchen is the room containing the most bacteria. As many as 50 to 80 percent of the disease came from the house. Bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter is a type of bacteria most commonly found in kitchens and food borne diseases cause illness. The disease strikes nearly 76 million people each year, 300,000 of them in the hospital and 5,000 people died.

In the bathroom, a toothbrush is a good item used as a breeding bacteria. The best measures to prevent transmission to the mouth is replacing toothbrushes every few months.

In a study conducted in the UK Hygiene Council found that as many as 12 percent of the visible surface clean of bacteria was still contaminated.

"Millions of people touched the different types of things every day, no one knew whether it was clean or not the bacteria. Some people do not have anything, but some get sick more often. The best thing about it is to have an immune system a good and follow your common sense, "Gerba said.
