Skin cells left on towels after rubbing are food for bacteria
BOSTON, Feb. 24 () -- Whenever a person uses a washcloth or towel, skin cells slough off the body and stick to the fabric and serve as food for bacteria, a U.S. germ expert says.Elizabeth Scott, co-director of the Simmons College center for hygiene and health in Boston,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]parajumpers jacken outlet[/url], says bacteria thrive in the damp, densely woven material, which has lots of nooks and crannies for them to hide in, Men's Health magazine reported. As people reuse towels,[url=http://www.isabelmarantsneakersbootss.com/]isabel marant sneakers[/url], these bacteria can transfer back to the person and cause skin infections, Scott said. "If you have any kind of wound,[url=http://www.christianlouboutinonlineshop.de/]christian louboutin schuhe[/url], you may be infecting yourself with whatever is on the towel," Scott said in a statement. Scott suggests washing a bath towel at least weekly if only one person is using it, and using fresh towels daily if people share towels. However, anything that gets soaked -- washcloth, hand towel, or bath towel -- should be washed after every use, Scott recommended. Don't forget about guest towels; wash them every time there are visitors, Scott advised.
