Ready?

It's actually a dish with bacteria....

Now, the real question...

Do you know where they got this bacteria from? 

Well, you'll never guess... Until you read the story that is...

News from PRWeb.com:

Scientists from London found out recently that there is actually more bacteria in your mobile phone than you average toilet bowl...

Dial-a-Phone, a Mobile phone retailer in UK condectd a test. They took swab samples from everyday objects and analyzed the bacteria found from it...

Guess what? They have found that "there's more muck on our mobiles than the average door handle, keyboard, and bottom of a shoe or even a toilet seat."

According to Joanne Verran, Professor of Microbiology at Manchester Metropolitan University: 

Mobile phones, like many everyday objects such a telephones and computer keyboards, harbor bacteria. However, being 'mobile', they are stored in bags or pockets, are handled frequently, and held close to the face. In other words, they come into contact with more parts of our body and a wider range of bacteria than toilet seats!

So before you even start a conversation with the person on the other line, would you please, please, wipe that phone with an antibacterial wipe. You wouldn't want to catch a cold, get pimples, or even get really sick would you?
