Most Germ Filled Spots At The Mall – Our Top 5

Display items you can touch like cell phones, cameras, remote controls or even laptops, are absolutely covered in germs.

A study published last year found that viruses transfer extremely easily between the glass screens on electronics, and our fingertips.

With thousands of kids touching and grabbing at the hundreds of toys on the shelves, they leave behind millions of germs. Unfortunately, you can't do much about this while you're in the store, other than slather on the hand sanitizer when you leave.

Even if you see an employee wiping down the tables, there's no way to know how clean the rag is. If the employee has used the same rag all day, the rag itself can spread bacteria like E. coli.

This is not just on the cash machines, it includes the ones at the register when you use your ATM pin to pay for your purchases.

Researchers in China tested 38 ATMs in a busy city center, and found that each key contained an average of 1,200 germs. And the dirtiest key was the "Enter" button.

By far the dirtiest place in the bathroom, as it never dries out and this promotes bacteria growth. The article says that the soap dispensers are pretty disgusting, too. One in four contain unsafe amounts of bacteria.

As if that's not enough, each time after someone uses the toilet, the first things they touch are either the faucets or the exit door handle.  Eeewwww!!!
