Stay away from the bathroom and refrigerator if you want to stay healthy, American journalists advise. As members of the press have found, there are high-risk areas in every home. The way a person equips his home has a great impact on almost all health indicators - from mood to the state of teeth and stomach.

After analyzing the mass of studies on which American researchers are so prolific, journalists have compiled a rating of the most harmful places in the house for human health. According to doctors, one of the most dangerous places for humans is the bathroom, especially if there is a toothbrush next to the sink. A professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona says there are, on average, about three million microbes in a shell per square inch.

Scientists advise keeping your toothbrush away from the sink, preferably in a closed cabinet.

The hallway, where people usually put their shoes on, is no less dangerous. On the sole of any shoe, even if it is thoroughly wiped off, there are always particles of dust and dirt that can cause a strong allergic reaction. Therefore, the compilers of the rating are advised to hide shoes in a special shoe cabinet, or, as the safest option, to store them outside the door outside the apartment.

American journalists are sure that the refrigerator also poses a certain danger to human health, since improperly frozen food can, at best, lead to food poisoning. What could happen in the worst, the compilers of the rating decided not to report. It is especially dangerous to freeze food while it is still hot, since in this case the food is cooled unevenly, which creates a favorable environment for the reproduction of pathogenic microbes.
