Germs that can spread in the washroom
Do any of the following ailments sound familiar, poor sanitation and lack of proper hand cleaning could cause a number of ailments:
| Rotavirus |
| Rotaviruses are transferred from hand to hand and live on hard work surfaces in your washroom and cause fever, vomiting and diarrhoea |
| Faecal Coliforms |
Coliforms are found in faeces, these contain germs that thrive in an unclean washroom. Some of these can be very serious such as:
- E. Coli which can cause food poisoning symptoms and even death
- Pseudamonis which can cause skin infections
- Streptococcus which can cause sore throats & blood poisoning
|
Parasites
|
| Parasites such as protozoa and parasitic worms can also be transferred in the washroom by hand contact. Parasitic worms grow in the gut and can cause liver, lung, brain & lymphatic damage. |
Hand washing is the single most effective action to reduce the spread of bacteria
While hand washing alone cannot guarantee to kill every kind of germ or virus, it is the first line of defence against their spread and used in conjunction with stringent sanitation, can greatly reduce the risks.
Did you know?
We know that many viruses, germs and bacteria are passed by touch, but did you know that these same bacteria and germs cause the odours associated with washrooms? Cleaning is not adequate. It needs complete sanitation to ensure a healthy and safe washroom. Unfortunately research indicates only 3 out of 100 people wash effectively with soap and water. In theory you are following behind those same people, touching what they have touched, possibly picking up their germs and viruses.
Drying Hands Remove Germs. It is not enough to use soap to clean your hands, you should also include hand drying ideally using disposable paper towels. The rubbing action with the towel actually removes germs from your hands.
