Phones

“Believe it or not, your cell phone is one of the dirtiest things you touch—and you touch it often,” says Dr. Christopher Dietz, DO, area medical director of MedExpress Urgent Care.

“A dirty cell phone, especially during cold and flu season, can negatively impact your health and spread germs that cause illness. Even though we take our phones everywhere from the bathroom to the dining room table, we rarely remember to sanitize them. Every time we set our phones down on a surface, whether it’s the meat counter in the grocery store or the booth at your favorite restaurant, it can pick up bacteria that can then be transferred to your hands and then possibly into your mouth or nose—and into your body.”
