Would you have thought that most of the bacteria actually lurkes on our cell phones?
Bacteria, viruses and fungi have many hiding places! The average user taps their cell phone around 2,500 times a day. In between, the nose is blown, the button on the parking machine or elevator is pressed or door handles, coins and shopping cart handles are touched. Lots of bacteria and viruses land on the mobile phone display.
Did you know that withdrawing at an ATM is comparable to reaching into a toilet?
When withdrawing money, just entering the secret code brings you into contact with as many bacteria and germs as when you reach into the toilet!
Scientific studies have shown that there are often as many pathogens lurking on ATM keys, on computer keyboards and even in refrigerators as in the toilet bowls. The same applies, for example, to holding onto various handles on public transport. Tests on toilet edges that are cleaned to the usual extent often even result in lower exposure values.
Did you know that the palm of your hand holds more than 150 different types of bacteria?
10 million bacteria live on the skin on one square centimeter. If you just look at your hands, you come across around 150 different types of bacteria that are found on there.
The diversity of bacteria on the hands is at least as high as that in the mouth or in the intestines.
We deal with bacteria and germs in every room in our household. Bacteria, fungi and viruses can be found everywhere. The majority of them are not pathogenic and under normal circumstances do not pose a threat to a healthy person. However, if these microorganisms multiply in an uncontrolled manner, they also become a risk for a healthy person. There is an increased risk of infection for the elderly, children and people with weak immune systems, especially during the cold and flu season.
Door handles, cell phones and money are just as carriers as wash basin fittings, showers, toilet seats, cutlery, books, magazines, children’s toys and much more.
Did you know that infections like the flu, cold or runny nose are more commonly transmitted through the hands than through speaking?
Another type of bacteria that is passed on from hand to hand: diarrhea pathogens. These include e.g. Salmonella or the norovirus. For the benefit of your health, it is therefore not advisable to put your hands near your eyes or mouth after using potentially contaminated objects without first sanitizing them.
A wise and, above all, targeted use of hygienic agents can make a significant contribution to improved disease and infection prevention. Provided the hygienic agent is 100% natural, stable in effect, biodegradable and in no way poses a danger to humans or animals, because conventional disinfectants contain many toxic substances and can trigger allergies, damage the lungs and even be carcinogenic. The regular use of conventional disinfectants poses a major health risk. It does not matter how we come into contact with the chemical mixture, whether when it is applied to the skin or by inhaling the spray mist.
The repeated use of disinfectants in particular creates so-called resistances of the corresponding germs. In addition, the hands can dry out and dermatoses can develop. Then one likes to use a moisturizing cream for relief, but this exacerbates the problem even more, as a virus can adhere even better to a fatty surface. In this way, the opposite of what one expects from an effective disinfection is achieved.
The renowned East Tyrolean company “Protect Aqua” is deliberately breaking new ground. In the manufacture of the innovative products, alcohols and the usual known process chemicals are completely dispensed with. Water and salt form the basis. Nothing else. A special process ensures that the molecular composition of the water develops in such a way that it is deadly for germs, viruses and bacteria (99.99% effectiveness) and completely harmless to humans.
Company founder Karl Unterweger informs: “The topic of disinfection affects us all, especially nowadays. Unfortunately, conventional products often do more harm than deliver the desired benefit. For this reason, it was very important to us to create an innovative, healthy and environmentally friendly alternative in this area.”
Protect Aqua products are highly effective and yet absolutely harmless to humans. Another central issue is the balance of our environment and the future of our planet. Conventional products destroy important microorganisms that are essential for the environment. In this area, Protect Aqua sets a strong example for the health of the plant world as well as for humans and animals with its ecological products and sustainable concept.
