How do germs jump on the food so fast when they’re so small?
In: 0
Touch something shiny or reflective, like a mirror or window. Just touch, and stop. Don’t even bother counting to five. Notice how your fingerprints are on the window or mirror? You didn’t even have to wait five seconds for your skin cells, body oils, bacteria, and whatever else is on your hand, to transfer to the window or mirror’s surface.
Same priciple applies when you drop your food onto the floor. Bacteria present on the floor don’t even have to wait five seconds to be transferred to your food item. Contact is made, surface contaminants are transferred.
