In a world where we find ourselves on the go and constantly on our phones, we need a solution to protect ourselves from the number of invisible dangers lurking on touchscreens.
In today’s mobile-oriented age, icky things like germs and bacteria can easily be passed from individual to individual when touching a common screen—be it through public touchscreens in airports, a touchscreen shared by multiple people in an office, a touch screen in hospitals, or even a touch screen shared by family members.
What You Don’t See in a Touch Screen
Bacteria like the Enterococcus Faecalis (E. Faecalis) and More
The touch screen, designed to assist humans in communicating, has become a portal of bacteria transmission. This is a problem, as the more we use touch screen devices, the more at risk we are of spreading bacteria and germs around.
In fact, the Enterococcus Faecalis or E. Faecalis is a type of bacteria that has been found on touch screens of mobile and tablets. This type of bacteria has been commonly found in the digestive tract and intestines of humans, however, the bacteria are also passed from person to person by touching an object that the bacteria is on—like a public touchscreen, for example.
Touchscreen devices are not the only source of E. Faecalis as the bacteria is also commonly found on doorknobs, keyboards, toilet seats, phones, and other items. With this, there’s a chance of experiencing fever, fatigue, headaches, chills, nausea, diarrhea, and more.
Other bacteria you can contract from a public touchscreen include staphylococcus, also known as “staph.” Staphylococcus can live on the skin, or in the eye of the infected person, and is easily spread to others. A person affected by staph may experience blood poisoning, pneumonia, skin infections, and even toxic shock syndrome, though only if the bacteria gets into an open wound or is ingested.
