We all should practice general hygiene these days and try not to touch unnecessary items. So here is the list of places or items that you should think before handling:

Petrol pumps have 11,000 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. A lot of people hold the handle without washing hands before pumping petrol.

  • Escalator handle

You should think twice before touching the escalator handrail. Because you never know how many people have touched that? Better to take precautions.

  • ATM buttons

A lot of people visit ATMs daily, so wash your hands after using an ATM.

  • Public transport handles

While traveling in public transport try not to touch the handles and pillars. Many people travel through it daily, so it is highly germ-infested. Keep sanitizing your hands while traveling in public transport.
