A case in which our inadvertent behavior causes the infection of germs

a case in which our inadvertent behavior causes the infection of germs

​

Our inadvertent behavior can lead to the transfer of germs to birds that we don't know or have bad hygiene. You can do it because you don't know it or you can do it by looking at it and learning it from the past without thinking. However, if it is said to be unhealthy, I think it is necessary to improve it.

​

Let's find out about cases of bacterial infection by inadvertent act.

​

1. To extinguish candles with birthday cake mouth

​

Researchers at the University of Clemson in the U.S. compared the amount of bacteria on the cake before and after blowing out candles on the birthday cake. The results showed that bacteria increased significantly after the candle was extinguished. The reason is that when you blow out a candle, you blow it out with your mouth. Maybe it's because it blows hard and turns out the fire to the end. We have seen it since childhood and accepted it without doubt because we have followed it again and again. If the sick children were birthdays, the story would be different. Conversely, it would be a problem for sick children to eat cake.

​

Even more, if it's a children's hospital in the hospital, I'll have to think about it again." In the movie, I saw a patient blow a birthday cake, but I don't know what it really would be like.)

​

From now on, culture needs to be changed by putting candles on a small cake the size of a muffin, letting the child blow and handing out small cakes that were cut in advance to others.

2. Taking coffee with you in the bathroom

I have an experience of carrying coffee I bought after a meal in the bathroom. But in the bathroom, garbage dumps float through the air. Therefore, small particles are attached to a glass-backed container and become unhygienic.

​

3. Sharing Earphones

Small earwax is a problem, but in fact, a bigger problem is the bacteria on the cochlea. The proliferation of rhinoceros in cochlear tubes can cause middle ear infection. 

​

In particular, young children get infected with streptococcus while sharing earphones.

​

4. Don't spit on your finger when you read a book. It's like putting a lot of germs on the bookshelf into your mouth.

Older books and banknotes may contain food poisoning bacteria such as salmonella and shigella, which can cause abdominal pain.

​

5. If your child falls down and gets hurt, apply medicine and don't blow it into your mouth. 

This means that germs in your mouth can be introduced into your skin.

The saliva contains antibacterial protein immunoglobulin, which is destroyed when it comes out of the mouth. But germs can survive, making 100 million germs per cc, such as streptococcus and staphylococcus, worse for wounds.

​

6. If you have a cavity, you should refrain from kissing a child's lips. Mutans, which can easily cause cavities, are also transmitted to children through food, nipples and spoons.

​

7. Other common items are also full of germs, such as toilet soapbox buttons, restaurant menus, keyboards, mice, and co-use phones.

The flu is a common but fatal disease. Older people with impaired immune systems are even more dangerous. Most of the deaths from the flu are said to be aged 65 or older. According to 2018 statistics, an average of 2,900 people die from the flu every year in Korea. (More than 90 percent of deaths from the flu are aged 65 or older.) The death rate is 107 times higher than that of the elderly (15-4

​

Older people with chronic diseases are said to have 7 to 15 times higher risk of death than healthy seniors. In particular, the competition between heart disease and chronic lung disease increases by up to 20 times.

​

But we are not aware of the high risk of fatal complications and death from the flu.

​

​

​

According to studies at home and abroad, hand washing is the most basic means of preventing infectious diseases. In particular, about 50 to 70 percent of waterborne infections can be prevented. Hand washing by using soap can save more than 1 million lives per year, so hand washing must be done properly.

​

Statistically, however, only 73 percent of people wash their hands after the toilet, while only 33 percent wash their hands with double soap. The effect of proper hand washing on germs is deeply related to prevention of various diseases.
