A fountain of bacteria in the shower; Many times he must be washed especially during the summer

Your bathroom towel hides a little secret, a weekly bath is not enough to keep it clean. Your sheets can hide the same secret because they carry many bacteria during the day.

Bacteria multiply in towels. You think he doesn't get dirty after you dry off after you've washed and removed all the bacteria from your body but you're partly wrong. You don't remove 100% of bacteria.

Once those bacteria are there, they will start to multiply and continue to breed day after day that you don't use your towel. A study conducted by Dr. Gerba found that the hand - used towels contain 1,000 times as many bacteria as the newly purchased ones. Bacteria want dark and wet environments, so they'll bloom in a steam bath with the door closed. Fish are one of the main points that bacteria gather in your bathroom.

Drowning in intimate parts with a dirty towel can put you in danger of infection. When you use a quick towel or with a lot of pressure, you scratch your body”, says Dr. Gerba. These tiny scratches in your skin give bacteria an opportunity to enter your body.

However, it is the exceptionally unusual “that you get a disease from your shower fisher, says the expert on infectious Aaron Glatt, MD, FACP, FIDSA, FSHEA, spokesperson for the American Infectious Diseases Association and head of the hospital medicine and epidemiology of the Nassau Communities. Your bacteria won't make you sick, but you increase your chance to collect a disease when you share towels, says Dr. Gerba.

If you have acne, you should wash your towel every time you use it, says Dr. Tyerno.
