In today's fast-paced world, our mobile phones have become an essential part of our lives, but their constant use can have negative consequences. A growing concern is the habit of taking phones into the bathroom. This practice not only exposes your device to germs like E. coli and Salmonella but can also impact your health in other significant ways.
Dr. Manan Vohra, in a recent Instagram video, highlighted that many of us can't even think about using the restroom without our phones. Extensive use of mobiles in such environments leads to unnecessary health risks due to the spread of germs through aerosolization during flushing. Furthermore, prolonged sitting while using your phone in the toilet can increase pressure on the rectal area, potentially leading to conditions like hemorrhoids.
Experts advise breaking this habit immediately to avoid these health risks and maintain hygiene not only for oneself but also for others sharing the living space. Reducing phone use in the bathroom can decrease exposure to harmful bacteria and promote better health practices.
