How to Fight Household Germs
House – a place where we should feel safe and be assured that we along with our family are not in danger. We need to remember that the root cause of any disease could be bacteria, viruses and fungi.
Indeed, they can cause irreparable damage to you and your child, and trigger the development of various diseases. Dangerous micro-organisms live in different parts of your home. For example: dust bin, toilet, carpets (in the hallway), door handles or taps in the bathrooms.
In addition, the bacteria can survive for a few hours even on a dry surface. You can find the following types of bacteria in the house: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter and Salmonella.
Fungi, on the other hand, lives and breed in places where there is a lot of moisture. For example: washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners or in rags and sponges. To protect yourself from diseases caused by microbes, it is important to follow the simple precautions.

Make sure you are clean before preparing or eating food as often as possible. Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth to stop the bacteria penetrating into the body. Wash your hands before touching your contact lenses as well.
