"Dr Gareth Nye, a senior lecturer in physiology at the University of Chester, warns that smartphones can harbor harmful germs, potentially leading to food poisoning and skin infections."
"Dr Nye explains that healthcare workers may carry bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii, which can cause serious infections, while non-healthcare workers commonly have Gram-positive spore bacteria linked to GI issues."
"Notably, our smartphones may contain dangerous bacteria like E. coli and faecal streptococci, with contamination typically occurring through contact with our hands after touching various surfaces."
"Dr Nye suggests keeping phones away from the dining table to avoid germ transfer, highlighting the necessity of maintaining hygiene, particularly during meal times."
