Our inadvertent behavior can result in the transfer of germs to birds we don't know or in poor hygiene. You may not know, or you may do so without thinking, by looking back and learning from the past. However, if it is not good for the body, I think it is necessary to improve it.

​

Let's look at the cases of bacterial infection through casual behavior.

​

1. Blowing out candles with the mouth of a birthday cake

​

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 a birthday cake. As a result, the bacteria increased significantly after blowing out the candles. The reason is that when you blow out a candle, you blow it out with your mouth. Maybe because you blow it hard and turn it off to the end. We have seen each other since we were young and have followed and accepted without doubt. If the sick children had birthdays, the story would be different. On the contrary, it would be a problem for sick children to eat cake.

​

Even more, if it's a children's hospital in the hospital, it's worth thinking about it again," he said. "I saw a patient blow out a birthday cake in the movie, but I don't know how it will be in real life.)

​

From now on, culture needs to change by placing candles on a small cake the size of a muffin so that the child can blow and distribute the small cakes that others cut in advance.

​

2. Take your coffee to the bathroom

I've had the experience of taking the coffee I bought to the bathroom after a meal. But in the bathroom, waste of excrement is floating in the air. Therefore, small particles become unhygienic as they stick to the flag of the cup light container.

​

3. Sharing Earphones

Small earwax is also a problem, but actually a bigger problem is the bacteria in the cochlea. If green bacteria proliferate in cochlear tubes, they can cause mesenteritis. 

​

In particular, young children develop streptococcus infection while sharing earphones.

​

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

Old books and banknotes may contain food poisoning germs such as salmonella and shigella, which cause abdominal pain.

​

5. If your child falls down and gets hurt, put some medicine on it and don't blow it with your mouth. 

This will inject germs into the skin inside the mouth.

Saliva contains antibacterial protein immunoglobulin, which is destroyed when it comes out of its mouth. However, germs can survive and 100 million germs per cc, such as streptococcus or staphylococcus, can aggravate the wound.

​

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

​

7. There are also a lot of germs in common items such as toilet soapbox buttons, restaurant menus, keyboards, mice, and co-used phones with guitars.

​

​

Flu is a common but fatal condition. Older people with less immune function are 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. (Over 90 percent of deaths from flu are aged 65 or older.) The death rate is 107 times higher compared to those aged between 15 and 44.

​

The elderly, who suffer from chronic diseases, are said to have seven to 15 times higher risk of death than healthy senior citizens. In particular, heart disease or 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.

​

​

​

Research at home and abroad shows that hand washing is the most basic means of preventing infectious diseases. In particular, about 50 to 70 percent of waterborne infectious diseases can be prevented. Proper hand washing with soap can save more than a million lives a year, so hand washing must be carried out properly.

​

Statistics show, however, that the percentage of people washing their hands after a bath was 73 percent in the bathroom, while only 33 percent of people washing their hands with double soap. The effects of correct hand washing are deeply related to the prevention of various diseases.

​

​

At times like this, wash your hands.

​

1) After going to the bathroom

​

2) After touching a pet,

​

3) Coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose,

​

4) Before eating or cooking food

​

5) After returning from the outside,

​

6) Touch the money or button for public use

​

7) After touching a computer or accessory,

​

8) After handling garbage

​

9) Before wearing or removing contact lenses
