Foreign Media Claim That Millions Of Bacteria Are Stored On The Sole.

Sole

According to foreign media reports, American Broadcasting Company's "good morning, the United States" program recently tested 8 people's sole and two dogs' paws, and found that they carried millions of bacteria on their shoes.

Researchers at University of Arizona also found 9 special bacteria on shoes.

These bacteria can cause infections in our stomach, eyes and lungs.


    

More than 90% of the sole bacteria are pferred to the floor of the room.


Michel Sico also took part in the test. Researchers at University of Arizona found 66 million bacteria on his sole, including most of the bacteria.

The study also found that the bacteria on our shoes survived longer than those in other places, because when we walk, the soles of the shoes are often stained with new dirt, which provides convenience for breeding more bacteria.


The purpose of the study is to find out whether the bacteria on the shoes will be pferred to the floor of the room.

Researchers found that more than 90% of the bacteria on shoes were pferred to the floor of the room, and the carpet even concealed more bacteria.

Jonathan Saxton, research assistant at the school of public health, University of Arizona, said: "good morning, the United States" test found that the soles are even dirtier than toilet seats.

The toilet seat usually carries 1000 or less than 1000 of the bacteria, and the shoes carry millions of bacteria.


    

Children under 2 years old are most vulnerable.


Children under 2 years old are most vulnerable to the bacteria on our soles, because they like to play on the floor, and their hands and their mouths touch the floor 80 times per hour on average.

Saxton said: "this means that your child may touch every bacteria, bacteria, parks, stores, bacteria that you have visited everywhere."

9 of the 10 tests of Good Morning America included coliform bacteria, mainly from human and animal feces.

Scientists believe that the bacteria on the sole are from the public lounge floor and the excrement of birds and dogs.

The morning and the United States test found that 2 dogs ranked fifth and ninth in the dirtiest sole.

But that does not mean that dogs are cleaner than humans.

Because one of the dogs had just washed through the rain before testing, the claw might have been washed.

Besides, dogs' claws are much smaller than our shoes, and they carry fewer bacteria.


The easiest way to ensure that you do not bring the bacteria on your soles into the room is to take your shoes off the door or put them in the shoe cabinet.

Next you should wash your hands.

Researchers found that washing with cold detergent on the washing machine can kill bacteria.

Some shoes may become your new choice. You can also wipe your shoes with disinfectant cloth.
