How to Avoid Getting Sick from Our Cell Phones
There is always going to be a bacterium or virus that slips through even the hardiest of immune systems. That is part of living on the planet.
Without getting compulsive, cell phone users can avoid becoming microbial culture media by following some simple rules:
Wash your hands frequently. Sing a verse from a familiar song (e.g., “Happy Birthday”) while lathering and rinsing. Don’t rush.
Sanitize work surfaces—and your cell phone—with germicidal wipes once daily.
Carry wipes with you so you can quickly clean stations that you share with others.
Don’t share a cell phone unless it’s an emergency. Teenagers are notorious for passing their phones around; it’s just one more reason they seem to be ill during the entire school year.
Some manufacturers are developing devices with antimicrobial coatings. Whether they’ll prove beneficial remains to be seen—and a cell phone with a colloidal silver skin seems a bit obsessive.
