- Bathroom Faucets - Bathroom faucets ranked near the top of the most contaminated surfaces, with eight out of 10 faucets testing positive.
- Light Switches - Three out of 13 light switches tested positive for cold germs.
- Salt & Pepper Shakers - For the study, researchers started with salt and pepper shakers owned by 30 adults showing early symptoms of colds. Sixteen tested positive for rhinovirus, which causes about half of all colds. For the study, participants were asked to name several places in their homes they had touched in the preceding 18 hours, and researchers used DNA tests to hunt for rhinovirus.
- Door Knobs - Well, the study found those were loaded with germs too. In fact, six out of 18 doorknobs they tested were contaminated.
- Phones - Talking on the phone may also be hazardous to your health. Scientists say four out of seven phones tested were contaminated. So, no matter where you are or what you touch in your house, make sure you keep that antibacterial cleaner close by. If you don't, you might just catch a nasty cold.
