The researchers took a number of water bottles under the microscope, which was a week-long re-used by athletes. The drinking cup of the dirtiest water bottle were 900,000 bacteria. In other bottles researchers counted 300,000 bacteria. This corresponds to the licking of a dog toy.
On top of the Americans to make a further 60 percent of the bacteria make people sick. Those bacteria end up there because there remain at every sip bacteria from saliva. The more you drink from the bottle, the more microbes will nest there.
Toilet seat
Microbiologist Rijkelt Beumer did not look from the University of Wageningen. ,, In a small bottle of water are much more bacteria than a toilet seat. But there are many more people who drink from a bottle, then lick a toilet. Toilet seats are actually awfully clean. You will find some, but there you sit with your buttocks on. There is also no one and you do not eat it. This also applies to the rear newspaper of your pants or a train seat. “
Beumer struck even more bacteria during its investigations. ,, That was a bottle that was used for a month, without cleaning . the water is murky light. Even cows do not have so many bacteria in their drinking water. And the owner of the bottle was not a cow. “
Whether people are really sick, the scientist does not believe. ,, It’s your own bacteria growing. You must ensure that you lend your bottle to others. “
Soap and water
Can you even reuse a water bottle? ,, Certainly,” his Beumer and US researchers agree with each other. Beumer: ,, It is important to keep the bottle to clean every day with soap and water, then let the side attached bacteria release. But I would not be too much awake. “
The researchers also know that microbes are the least easily collect metal bottles.
