Some people may feel that their towels have been used for a long time without any discomfort. So what kind of effects will the bacteria on these towels have on the human body? Experts said that most of these bacteria on towels are streptococcus and staphylococcus, and there are also more mold and fungal infections. Staphylococcus infections can easily cause impetigo; streptococcal infections can easily cause local skin and soft tissue infections; fungal infections can cause tinea corporis.
Someone has done an experiment-experiment with towels that have been used for two years, one year, and three months: cut off a corner of these towels and sample them, and then introduce physiological saline for 24-hour bacterial culture. After 24 hours, the experimental results showed that the bacterial colonies on the towels used for two years were dense and the number exceeded 100 million; the towels used for one year had about several million bacteria; and the towels used for three months also had a few bacteria on them. One hundred thousand. This kind of experiment can't help but feel creepy. There are so many bacteria in just one corner of the towel. It can be seen that the use time of the towel is directly proportional to the bacteria.
