"Five-second rule" - a myth!


"It would be much better if the people who hold the" Rules of five seconds, "follow the rule of" Damage - throw away "- said Dr. George Parada, head of programs for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, Loyola University, Maywood, Illinois, the (' five-second rule "- the American idiom, means something like" what is quickly raised, is not considered fallen "- approx. per.).
... Once fallen thing for dirty surfaces, it collects on itself all the surrounding bacteria.

Parade cautions that, once fallen thing for dirty surfaces, it collects on itself all the surrounding bacteria: "Fallen object immediately contaminated and no longer subject to further complete disinfection. The quantitative and qualitative composition of contaminating microorganisms depends on the object and uronennogo place where he fell. " The scientist added that if the object is washed with water, you can remove some of the bacteria, but completely clear it is hardly possible.

By clearing the fallen stuff in any case does not mean it licks, which is a bad habit of some individuals. "Thus, to apply double damage - said the parade - you are exposed to the bacteria in the first place itself, plus everything you add to the fallen object is and its bacteria. From such carelessness nobody will win. "

However, Parade notes that there are different levels of bacterial contamination. Much depends on the specific circumstances. For example, potato chips, which fell on a relatively clean table and immediately raised, collect fewer germs on themselves, as if he had fallen on the floor and lain there for a while.

Some objects can accumulate to a large amount of bacteria. "For example, the fallen candy is less susceptible to contamination than a piece of cheese," - said the parade, which, incidentally, is also a professor in the School of Medicine of Loyola.
Some people believe that in the microbial contamination has its advantages: it allows a person to improve their immune system.

Some people believe that in the microbial contamination has its advantages: it allows a person to improve their immune system. In this thesis, of course, there is a robust grain, but Parade advises not to expose themselves to unnecessary risk, "Yes, conducted research supporting the value of the impact of bacteria on the body of the child in the most important period of its development. But it concerned microbial contamination typical of everyday life (the air you breathe, mother's arms, etc.), and was not related to the conscious infected themselves known microbes. This may not be an option of forming the protective systems of the organism. Since you want to take care of yourself and put a barrier to disease, spurring the immune system, the best choice - proper nutrition, physical activity and sleep. And do not forget to immunizations.
