Things are created to serve for the benefit of man. However, using them incorrectly can be fatal, which is why it is so important to know the rules of operation and strictly adhere to them. Otherwise, carelessness threatens to affect health in a bad way. Infections, allergies, heart problems, and even hearing loss — here is an incomplete list of those problems that can be caused by familiar things. Doctors have compiled the TOP-7 items, the incorrect use of which is life-threatening.
Dangerous for life: sponges and dampeners as sources of mold
1. Sponge for bathing. This ordinary thing is an ideal environment for various contagion — bacteria, fungi and mold. If you touch damaged skin or a scratch with a dirty sponge, then infection is guaranteed.
- Choose natural fiber sponges. They contain enzymes that control the growth of bacteria.
- Store the sponges in a dry and cool place.
- Regularly, once a month, change the sponge.
- Humidifier. This appliance helps to moisturize the air and prevents dry skin. But if it is not cleaned, then it will breed pathogens and mold, which will multiply in the atmosphere every time the device is turned on.
- After each use of the humidifier, empty the water container and dry it thoroughly: this is where mold collects.
- Sanitary sticks. Incorrect use of them is dangerous for hearing. Some doctors advise against them altogether.
- A small amount of wax protects the inner ear from injury.
- Office chair. The longer you sit, the more likely you are to develop overweight, scoliosis, heart problems, etc. And it doesn’t matter that after a hard day you go to the gym: sitting for eight hours in a row will nullify all your efforts.
- Try to move a little more at work. Take a two-minute walk every hour.
With things, out! Which of them serve a person, and which — bacteria
- Manicure accessories. They help to always keep hands and feet well-groomed. However, bacteria living on the skin can also migrate to devices.
- Do not share your devices with other people.
- Wash your nail supplies with soap and water after each use.
- Plush toys. What could be better than teddy bears, hugging which, according to doctors, is so good for health? However, along with pleasant emotions, such toys carry many threats, among which the most innocent — intestinal disorder. Children often carry teddy bears around with them, dropping them and picking them up again. In addition, such toys are often not washed, which provides them with a favorable environment for the development of various bacteria. And finally, plush toys are a magnet for dust and dust mites, which can lead to allergies.
- Keep plush toys on the shelf.
- Wrap the plush toy in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer overnight: the low temperature will kill the mites.
- Whitening Toothpaste. According to advertising, it should provide fresh breath and a snow-white smile. But long-term use to whiten teeth can be harmful to them.
Whitening ingredients in toothpaste can erode enamel and increase tooth sensitivity.
