ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke noho me ka ʻole, akā ua noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe e pili ana i ka lepo o kēlā hāmeʻa āu e kau ai i kou alo? Ua hoʻokō nā haumāna o ke Kulanui o Surrey i ka luʻi: Ua paʻi lākou i kā lākou kelepona ma luna o nā "mea hoʻomohala bacteria" ma nā pā Petri a, ma hope o ʻekolu mau lā, nānā i ka mea i ulu. He hoʻopailua loa nā hopena: ʻoiai he nui nā ʻōpala like ʻole i ʻike ʻia ma nā kelepona, hoʻokahi wale nō kolo maʻa mau ʻo Staphylococcus aureus-ʻo nā koʻohune i hiki ke kōkua i ka lāʻau make a lilo i maʻi Staph. ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha, e noʻonoʻo ana i ka lawe ʻana o ke kelepona paʻa he 18 mau manawa ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā germs ma mua o ka paʻa ʻana i loko o ka lua o nā kāne, e like me nā hoʻokolohua i hana ʻia e ka puke Pelekane. ʻO wai? ʻAʻole ʻo Staphylococcus aureus wale nō, akā, ʻo nā mea fecal a me E.coli kekahi.

Pehea, pololei, i kiʻi ʻia ai kēlā mau mikrob ma nā kelepona e hoʻomaka me? ʻO ka hapanui ma muli o nā mea ʻē aʻe āu i hoʻopā aku ai: Ma mua o 80 pākēneka o nā bacteria ma ko mākou manamana lima i ʻike ʻia ma kā mākou pale, kahi noiʻi mai ke Kulanui o Oregon i ʻōlelo. ʻO ia ke ʻano o nā germs mai nā wahi lepo āu e hoʻopā ai e pau i ka pale a laila hoʻopā i kou alo, kou mau helu helu, a me nā lima o kāu mau hoaaloha. Nui loa! E nānā i nā hewa hewa ʻehā no hea mai kēia bacteria. (A laila e nānā i ka hōʻoia o kahi Germaphobe: E pale anei kēia mau ʻano ʻano ʻē iaʻu (a i ʻole iā ʻoe) mai nā ʻōpala?)

Ma mua o ka lilo ʻana i maʻi Staph, ʻo Staphylococcus aureusis he bacteria maikaʻi ʻole ia e kau ana i loko o kāu ʻaoʻao ihu. No laila pehea ka hopena ma kāu kelepona? "ʻO kahi koho huna o ka ihu a me kahi kikokikona wikiwiki ma hope aku, a hoʻopau ʻoe i kēia pathogen ma kāu kelepona," wahi a Simon Park, Ph.D. polopeka o ke Kulanui o Surrey papa i hana i ka hoʻokolohua. A hiki i ka maʻi bacteria Staph ke laha maʻalahi mai nā ʻili i hoʻohaumia ʻia, no laila, ʻo nā microbes ma kāu kelepona ʻo ia nā germs ma nā wahi āu e kau ai.

ʻO Tweeting ma ka Toilet

I kekahi manawa, liʻiliʻi iki paha mākou pū kekahi hoʻopili ʻia i kā mākou kelepona: 40 pākēneka o ka poʻe e ʻae i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pāpaho i loko o ka lua, e like me ka ʻoihana noiʻi mākeke ʻo Nielsen. Malia paha e hoʻohana maikaʻi ana ʻoe i kou manawa, akā e noʻonoʻo i kēia: Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi Pelekane i ka makahiki 2011 he hoʻokahi o nā kelepona ʻeono i haumia i ka fecal matter. Ma luna o ia mea, hiki ke pana a hiki i 6 kapuaʻi ka mamao o ka splash radius-a me ka ʻāpana no nā maʻi bacteria a pau i loko o ka wai wīwī wili. (E nānā pū: 5 Nā hewa lumi lumi ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike e hana ana ʻoe.)

Ua hoʻohuli i nā manaʻo kuke pūnaewele i ka manaʻo o nā puke kuke, akā ʻaʻole ʻoe e lawe wale nei i kāu kelepona i ka lumi kuke - ke lawe nei ʻoe iā ia i loko o kekahi o nā lumi i loaʻa i ka maʻi bacteria i loko o kou hale. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, kahi hoʻoulu wai ou no kahi puʻupuʻu. A ke holoi i kou mau lima? 89 pakeneka o nā kāwele kuke i loaʻa i nā koʻohune coliform (ʻo ka germ i hoʻohana ʻia e ana i ka pae wai o ka wai), a ʻo 25 pākēneka ua pala me E. coli, e like me kahi noiʻi mai ke Kulanui o Arizona. (Nānā i 7 mau mea āu e holoi ʻole ai (akā pono).) ʻAʻole i loko o ka bacteria mai ka lawelawe ʻana i nā mea kanu lepo a i ʻole kaʻiʻo maka. Ke noʻonoʻo nei i ka pili o ka lumi kuke lepo me kāu kelepona? I nā manawa āpau e laka ai kāu pale kelepona a i ʻole ʻoe e ʻolokaʻa i ka papa kuhikuhi, ʻo nā bacteria āpau i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i kou mau lima e hoʻoili ʻia i kāu hāmeʻa e paʻa nei i kou alo.

Ma ka wili hao, hoʻopili ʻoe me ka luhi i kou pale no ke mele aʻe, a ma nā pahu kaupaona, ma hope o ka hopu ʻana i kahi dumbbell i ka nui o ka poʻe ma mua o kou hoʻopā ʻana, ke leka uila nei ʻoe. Mai manaʻo he nui ka pilikia? Hiki i nā Kelemona ke noho ma nā wahi paʻakikī i ka hale hoʻoikaika kino no 72 mau hola-ʻoiai ma hope o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻelua mau lā i ka lā, hōʻike kahi noiʻi mai ke Kulanui o Kaleponi Irvine. (E nānā i 4 mau mea nui ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hana me kāu ʻeke gym.)
