Germs on your mobile phone could kill
95 percent of mobile phones are 'infected' with dangerous germs and bugs, claim researchers.
Boffins from Ondokuz Mayis University found the average mobile carries at least one type of bacteria, sometimes many more.
Tests in hospitals also found that a shocking one-in-ten mobile used by doctors or nurses was carrying the potentially killer MRSA bug.
"Based on these findings, holding your phone to your mouth is as dangerous as placing your face on a toilet bowl, and yet we do it all day long without a second thought," said a spokesperson from PureLightUK.
We assume he was talking about using a mobile not having his face on a toilet bowl, though what they do at PureLightUK is up to them.
The experts warned the the mobile phone bacteria could cause problems ranging from a skin irritation to potentially fatal infections.
Okay we admit it, we slipped into using a Daily Mail-esque headline, sorry. But at least it wasn't Foreign germs on your mobile phone could kill.
