Nui nā kumu e haʻalele ai i ka lede ma ke ala-pōkole puʻupuʻu haʻuki ma ke kaʻaahi. ʻAʻole ʻo ka mea liʻiliʻi o nā ʻōpala ʻoiaʻiʻo ia e hamo i ka noho. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻeha maoli i kēlā mau mikamina sweaty? A pehea e pili ana i nā wahi lehulehu ʻē aʻe e like me nā mīkina lima a me nā mīkini tikika? Nui loa kēlā mau mea? ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua makemake nui ka poʻe ʻepekema e ʻike i nā mea a pau (no ka mea, ua lawa mākou a pau i kēia manawa).

Nā kānaka noiʻi mai ka Harvard T.H. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Chan School of Public Health i nā kaʻa mai ʻekolu laina kaʻaahi ma Boston e ʻike i ke ʻano o nā microbes subway rideers e hele a puni kekahi i kekahi. ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha, ua ʻike lākou i nā noho, nā paia, a me nā pou o nā kaʻa me nā pale a me nā paia kokoke i nā mīkini tikika-yep, nani a puni nā ʻāpana-i uhi ʻia i nā microbes. ʻO ka mea kupaianaha ka hapa nui o nā ʻāpala i hāʻawi ʻia a puni ʻaʻole "maikaʻi" - ke ʻano ʻaʻole lākou i manaʻo ʻia he kūʻē i nā lāʻau ʻalopika a ʻaʻole lākou i hāpai i nā hopena ʻē aʻe weliweli. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua ʻōlelo nā kānaka noiʻi ʻo nā wahi subway a lākou i holoi ai i lalo ma lalo o kēia mau microorganism weliweli ma mua o ka mea i loaʻa i kou ʻōpū i kēia manawa. (Whew, a me ew!) Hoʻohui, ua uhi ʻia ʻoe i nā palapala kuhi-3D Bacteria Palapala Hōʻike.

"ʻAʻole pono ka poʻe olakino e hopohopo," wahi a Tiffany Hsu, ka mea kākau noiʻi a me kahi mea noiʻi noiʻi ma ke keʻena biostatistics o ke kula. "ʻO ka hapa nui o nā puʻupuʻu e loaʻa nei ma ka ʻili kanaka a i ʻole nā ​​pūnaewele waha, no laila ʻo ka hapanui o nā kānaka e halihali pū kekahi iā lākou." Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka holoi ʻana i kou mau lima ma hope o ka holo ʻana i ke kaʻaahi, ʻaʻole ia e ʻeha. (Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, aia kahi parasite koʻikoʻi i ʻike ʻia e lurking ana i loko o nāʻauʻau.)

ʻO nā mea i loaʻa iā Hsu a me kāna mau hoa hana, e paʻi ʻia nei i kēia pule ma ka puke pai ʻo American Society for Microbiology mSystems, hāʻawi i kahi laina o nā microbes ma laila i hiki i nā mea noiʻi ke ana i nā pilikia o ke olakino e hiki mai ana, e like me ka maʻi maʻi maʻi nui.

Ua ʻike pū ka poʻe noiʻi i nā ʻano ʻino like ʻole ma nā wahi like ʻole. ʻO nā microbes ʻili a me nā waha i pāhola ʻia e ka honi a hoʻopā paha i loaʻa i nā helu kiʻekiʻe ma nā pou subway, a aia nā microbes liʻiliʻi ma luna o nā noho. Hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻalulu i ka huaʻōlelo "ʻokoʻa ʻōpū", akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ua hele mai ka ʻili o ka mea holo i ka ʻili a me ka noho. Hiki ke hala i kēlā ʻano ʻeke ma o ka lole. A he mea nui ia na lākou e hoʻopili maoli iā ʻoe, i ʻōlelo ʻo Hsu. Pono e ola nā microbes, e kiʻi ʻia e kou kapa ma kahi e hiki ai ke ola (vs., e ʻōlelo, kou lima), a laila hoʻokūkū i nā ʻūpē ʻē aʻe e helu i kahi ma ke kaiāulu microbe. (ʻAe, e kala mai i ka hōʻike aku he nui nā pilikia o ke kaiāulu ma luna ou i nā manawa āpau.) Aia kekahi mau ʻohana pumehana ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻōpala a me nā koʻohune ma mua o kou makemake e ʻike e pili ana i kēia mau mea he 10 āu e makemake ʻole ai. makemake ʻoe e kaʻana like.)

Ke laina lalo: ʻOiai ua uhi ʻia ke subway i loko o nā microbes, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe e ʻohi i nā mikena wahine ʻē aʻe. "I kēia manawa, ʻaʻole hiki ke neʻe ʻia lākou," wahi a Hsu. "Hāʻawi ko mākou ʻili a me nā ʻōnaehana pale i kahi pale nui loa!" Maikaʻi e ʻike, akā ʻaʻohe mea e hōʻino iā ʻoe no ka hoʻoholo ʻana e kū a hiki i ke kū hou ʻana.
