Quote:Fecal Matter Found On 1 In 6 UK Cellphones
One in six mobile phones in Britain is contaminated with fecal matter, according to research made public Friday that cited poor hygiene as the cause.
“This study provides more evidence that people still don’t wash their hands properly, especially after going to the toilet,” Dr. Val Curtis of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said in the report.
In the study, researchers in 12 cities took 390 samples from mobile phones and hands, then analyzed in a laboratory what they had found.
Londoners had the highest incidence of the E. coli bacteria, which are associated with fecal matter, on their hands (28 percent). The bacteria can result in food poisoning and, in extreme cases, can prove fatal.
The study, which also included scientists from Queen Mary, University of London, found that Britons tend not to come clean about their hygiene practices.
When surveyed, 95 percent of respondents told the researchers that they washed their hands with soap where possible, but the researchers said 92 percent of phones and 82 percent of hands had bacteria on them. And 16 percent of hands and 16 percent of phones harbored the E. coli bacteria.
“People may claim they wash their hands regularly but the science shows otherwise,” said Dr. Ron Cutler, of Queen Mary, University of London. A person can transfer fecal bacteria by touching door handles, food and mobile phones and, from there, to other people.

My essence still senses Bucho's women.
I blame the factories where the tech components are made. I mean, we’ve already seen the article where they are turning shit into edible fake meat. It’s probably just a bit of their sandwiches on their hands and finding it’s way onto the phone parts…..probably!
BIG JOBBIESare you trying to make me throw up in my mouth?

….best is when you get it in the sinus cavity way up high in your nostrils….with chunks of carrot
BIG JOBBIESAnother way of getting fecal matter on door handles is to open the door handles with something other than your hands.

i have to be honest. “someone else’s hand” is not where my mind immediately navigated.

Unless by someone else’s hand, you meant mouth. I’m guessing thats where Lark’s mind went. He can’t help it. Poop makes him hungry!
BIG JOBBIESThat reminds me of a RD gag from Back To Earth. Lister returns from the bathroom claiming 20th Century Earth doesn’t use toilet paper. You have to clean up in the sink and then dry off using these blowers. It’s really difficult holding a hand stand like that and trying to part your cheeks. The other blokes kept looking at me weirdly.
Something like that anyway!
BIG JOBBIESseriously?! you guys danced all around it!
ori wins the prize for closest without going over.
