Your cell phone has more germs than a toliet?
Could you carry a dirty toilet seat around in your purse? Handle one several times a day? Or rub one on your face? If you have a mobile phone you're actually doing much worse.
According to British newspaper the Daily Mail, UK researchers have determined your mobile phone houses more bacteria than a toilet seat, the sole of a shoe, or a door handle.
"I believe it," said Danielle Cooper when stopped with her cell phone at the Seattle Center. Still she said she hadn't given it much thought until now. Your hands touch everything, no matter where you are, then your hands touch your cell phone," Cooper added.

Worse, your phone is warm and kept in cozy pockets, handbags, and briefcases. Those factors make it easier for bacteria to breed. Article here.

I'm doing a research project for staph, and came across this article. Unfortunately I don't think my biology teacher will let me cite a blog, but this was a really cool "fun fact".
Staph doesn't have a cure right now...kind of scary.
