The Dhaka Times Desk You spend most of the day in bed every day, there are germs found there, which are usually not even in the toilet! A recent study has revealed such alarming information.
If there is a holiday, the number of people like to spend most of their time in bed is not small. Bed sheets are visibly clean. But did you ever know that the sheet is a breeding ground for billions of germs and fungi? A recent study has revealed an alarming fact.
According to microbiologist Jason Tetrow, the bed, where you spend most of your day, has been found to contain germs that you would never normally see in a toilet. The researcher has proved it by hand. During the study, participants were asked to lay out new pillowcases and sheets on the bed. After four weeks of using the sheets and pillowcases, Jason holds the sheets under the microscope and is surprised to hear what he sees.
At the end of the research, he said, the number of species of bacteria in those one-month-old sheets has reached about a million! Again, the amount of bacteria in the pillow case is more than the sheet. However, the reason for such bacteria in the bed is that body sweat and saliva fall into the bed without knowing it during sleep. Different types of bacteria are born from there. So the researchers suggested changing bed sheets and pillowcases at least twice a week. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
