Ladies Here Is Some Advice About Your Hand Bags

HANDBAGS..


Have you ever noticed girls who set their handbags on
 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"!



 Read on.............
 Mom got so upset when guests came in the door and
 plopped their handbags down on the counter where she
 was cooking or setting up food. She always said that
 handbags are really dirty, because of where they have
 been.


 It's something just about every woman carries with them. While we may know what's inside our handbags, do you have any idea what's on the outside? Women carry handbags everywhere; from the office to public toilets
 to the floor of the car. Most women won't be caught
 without their handbags, but did you ever stop to think
 about where your handbag goes during the day.



 "I drive a school bus, so my handbag has been on the
 floor of the bus a lot," says one woman. "On the floor
 of my car, and in toilets." 

 "I put my handbag in grocery shopping carts and on the
 floor of the toilet," says another woman "and of
 course in my home which should be clean."

We decided to find out if handbags harbor a lot of
 bacteria. We learned how to test them at Nelson
 Laboratories in Salt Lake, and then we set out to
 test the average woman's handbag.


 Most women told us they didn't stop to think about
 what was on the bottom of their handbag. Most said at
 home they usually set their handbags on top of kitchen
 tables and counters where food is prepared.
 Most of the ladies we talked to told us they wouldn't
 be surprised if their handbags were at least a little
 bit dirty. 



 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 fecal 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
thosewithout, with one exception.


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


 "Some type of feces, 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.
