Objects You Should Never Share With Anyone
News of the week:
Towels: This fabric tends to remain damp after use and this creates an environment conducive to the growth of germs and yeast. Not only should we avoid sharing them, we also have to wash and disinfect towels at least every two weeks.
Deodorant: Roll-on deodorants or antiperspirants should not be shared because they make direct contact with the armpits and accumulate bacteria . Those that are sprayed or that do not involve skin contact can be borrowed without any fear.
Toothbrush: Some couples have the habit of sharing toothbrushes. The problem is that millions of oral microorganisms accumulate in these objects between their small bristles. It is essential to have a personal brush and, in addition, to carry out a regular disinfection with vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.
Tweezers to shave: This tool that is used to shape the eyebrows can cause the contagion of some disease in the plucking of the hair from the skin . However, if they are disinfected before and after each use, there is no risk.
Lip glosses and lipsticks: Over time, small particles of dead skin, impurities and bacteria accumulate in lip glosses and lipsticks that can be easily transmitted. Sharing them with others increases your risk of developing cold sores .
Razor blades: Razor blades perform the function of removing hair and dead cells that accumulate in certain areas of the body. The reason we cannot borrow them is because they accumulate bacteria and fungi that can transmit skin infections. In addition, in the case of cuts, they can cause a blood-borne disease.
Headphones: These devices often grow various microorganisms that accumulate in earwax. Staphylococci and streptococci are bacteria that, in general, inhabit these places and, by borrowing the headphones, we can cause infections and inflammation.
Shoes: Shoes, especially shoes that have poor ventilation, are a common source of yeast and bacteria that cause foot and nail infections. The fact that several people use the same shoes considerably increases the risk of transmission of these diseases.

Nail clippers: Although we don’t notice it, fingers and nails hide a lot of bacteria , fungi and viruses that can cause infections. By sharing this manicure and pedicure tool we can develop fungal diseases and HPV (warts).
