Eli5: how does your phone have more germs than a toilet seat.

Answer 1

Your hands are touching tons of things a day that other people touch. Doorknobs. Pencils. Menus. Railings. Money. Hands (handshakes). And that’s after these other people have touched anything and everything. While the things that can get on a toilet are gross inherently, it does not have the widespread type of germs that an unwashed hand contains. And then that hand touches your phone.
