9 Ways Your Cell Phone Can Seriously Harm You!

 6) Causing Illness

We take our cell phones with us as we go about our day. And considering that most mobile phones have a touch screen, and all have a keyboard of some sort, they are constantly acquiring germs as we touch other things and then our phones again. Since most people do not clean their phones as often as they wash their hands, huge quantities of germs can grow on them. According to Fox News, mobile phones have 18 times more bacteria than a public bathroom. While not all bacteria are problematic, even dangerous types such as E. coli and MRSA are capable of thriving on mobile phones. As such, it is in your best interest to disinfect your phone regularly, especially if there’s sickness going around. This is particularly important at present since antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming more common, as we may not have effective ways to combat all the pathogenic bacteria we encounter.
