What Hidden Dangers Are Lurking on Your Clothes When You Sit on Your Bed?
- Skin flora
- Fecal flora
- Respiratory secretions
So, even the “cleanest” of clothes can have signs of contamination.
Do you want this climbing into bed with you? Of course not.
What’s REALLY Spreading?
Dr. Ferastraoaru, an assistant professor of medicine at Einstein/Montefiore said that it’s unlikely any contagious illness will pass through clothes. However, common allergens are easily spread.
What Can You Do?
Honestly, don’t climb into bed (anyone’s bed) in clothes you’ve worn outside. Instead, change into clean clothes when you get home (or when you arrive at someone’s house and plan to stay the night). It’s the best way to address germs, bacteria, allergens, and anything else “gross.”
