That's right, a new study has found that your car contains more bacteria than your toilet. Research by car insurance comparison site Compare.com found that cars are "a breeding ground for all sorts of bacteria and fungi." The study showed that the steering wheel was the filthiest surface in the vehicle, followed closely by the driver's interior door handle. These areas contained 24% more bacteria than a typical toilet handle. Back seats, where kids and pets typically sit, were 40% less germy than steering wheels, but still contained more bacteria than the average remote control or computer keyboard. Cars owned by parents were found to be 60% germier than cars owned by drivers without kids. However, the steering wheels of those drivers without kids were 96% dirtier than drivers with kids, presumably because kids make parents more focused on routine sanitization and hand-washing. |
