A Study done by researchers at the London School of Hygiene And Tropical Medicine and Queen Mary ,University Of London suggests that one in six mobile phones is contaminated with faecal matter .
They took 400 samples from mobile phone and hands from 12 different cities in UK and found 16% of phones and 16% of hands contains bacteria which inhabit the human intestines.
Most contaminated phones were in Birmingham which is 41% and Londoners were most effected with 28% .
So one should wash their hands when ever possible , while hand washing can prevent a stomach bug where you live but it can save lives in poorer countries .
