Your cellphone has 10 times more bacteria than your toilet seat

Anti-bacterial wipes made for cellphones can safely kill the germs |
So how do we get rid of this threat? First, don't freely share your device with others. Also, the use of an anti-bacterial wipe could help clean up your handset and is gentle enough not to damage your phone.
So let's go back to our original question, what would you rather hold in your hand, your cellphone or your toilet seat?

Does that we can leave our phones on toilet seats and still safely lend them to our friends to use afterward?

"Well...goodbye cellphone in the bathroom"
I prefer to keep my bathroom clean.

A door knob or a remote control is far more disgusting than a disgusting smartphone.

All I've learned from this article was that the man from Uganda should have stolen a toilet seat instead of a cell phone.
I'm not going to be obsessively wiping down my phone with anti-bacterial wipes just because I'm at risk of catching Ebola. I'm pretty sure there are other ways of me catching a virus rather than lending my cell phone to someone.
And who shares their mobile devices? It's supposed to be a personal portal of communication not your home landline.

Crazy scientist must clean his cell phone with bleach to kill germs that wipe cleaner is not going to germs.

What I learned from this article was that the professor at the University of Arizona is a weirdo.
"I see people talk on their phone on toilets"

People are horribly disgusting creatures.
I clean my phones regularly since my first one 9 years ago.
Why is common sense so uncommon?

Common sense is, "The likelihood of bacteria on your own phone killing you is on the order in 1 in billions."
Good luck in your plastic bubble.
