Take Care Of Your Handbags, Briefcases And Gym Bags by supereagle(m): 11:27pm On Mar 09, 2018
HANDBAGS, Briefcases and Gym Bags......

Have you ever noticed girls who set their handbags on public toilet floors, then go directly to their dining tables and set it on the table? Happens a lot!

It's not always the 'restaurant food' that causes stomach distress. Sometimes 'what you don't know will hurt you!'

Women carry handbags everywhere; from the office to public toilets to the floor of the rooms to the kitchen tables.

We, at Nelson Laboratories in Salt Lake, we set out to test the average woman's handbag.

It turns out handbags are so surprisingly dirty, even the microbiologist who tested them was shocked.

Microbiologist Amy Karen of Nelson Labs says nearly all of the handbags tested were not only high in bacteria, but high in harmful kinds of bacteria.

Pseudomonas can cause eye infections; staphylococcus aurous can cause serious skin infections and salmonella and e-coli found on the handbags could make people very sick.

In one sampling, four of five handbags tested positive for salmonella, and that's not the worst of it. 'There is faecal contamination on the handbags' says Amy. Leather or vinyl handbags tended to be cleaner than cloth handbags, and lifestyle seemed to play a role.

People with kids tended to have dirtier handbags than those without, with one exception.

The handbag of one single woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst contaminations of all.

'Some type of faeces or possibly vomit,' says Amy.

So the moral of this story is that your handbag won't kill you, but it does have the potential to make you very sick if you keep it on places where you eat. Use hooks to hang your handbag at home and in toilets, and don't put it on your desk, a restaurant table, or on your kitchen countertop.

Experts say you should think of your handbag the same way you would a pair of shoes.

'If you think about putting a pair of shoes on your countertops, that's the same thing you're doing when you put your handbag on the countertops.'

Your handbag has gone where individuals before you have walked, sat, sneezed, coughed, spat, urinated, emptied bowels, etc!

Do you really want to bring that home with you?

The microbiologists at Nelson also said cleaning a handbag will help. Wash cloth handbags and use leather cleaner to clean the bottom of leather handbags.

THIS IS WORTH SHARING!!! PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR GRANDMOTHERS, MOMS, DAUGHTERS, GRANDDAUGHTERS AND GIRLFRIENDS!!!

Anyone with a functional brain would know that behind the outward facade of beauty in ladies, lies a background of filth and dirtiness.

Like MTN, it's everywhere they go!

very informative.
I hope they have sense to adhere to this very hygienic routine because the priority of majority of them right now is to form slay queens everywhere taking charge of the front seat belts of any fine car.

True.. so many ladies are dirty ... fine face.. slaying body but dirty personality. Pay them a surprise visit and you would be shocked at the discovery of how dirty they are.. I know some are clean but many are dirty..

shocked


It is easy to bash girls for carrying dirty bags.
How about men that carry dirty scrotal sacs?

Like my people will aptly put it,
"Akpa dirty ka akpa amu di dirty nma".

Oh wow I never thought that people would have to question the fact that they need to keep their bags clean. I mean as a lady myself I have multiple bags like handbags, and over the shoulder bags, and ever a few gym bags that I constantly use and I always do take them to the dry cleaners and always take care of my bags so they are in pristine condition, especially my gym bags (I have a few from canvas ones to leather bags, and even a backpack), because those are always filled with sweaty clothes and sneakers and who knows what is going on in those locker rooms, so like you should always be cautions of those.
