Handbag pembunuh??

I never gave it a thought. Who would have thought? Have you ever noticed girls who sit their handbags on public toilet floors then go directly to their dining tables and set it on the table?

>>It's not always the restaturant food that causes stomach distress. Sometimes, what u don't know will hurt u.

>>It's something just about every woman carries with them. While we may know what's inside our handbags, do u have any idea what's on the outside?

>>Women carry handbags everywhere; from the office to public toilets to the floor of the car. Most women won't be caught without their handbags, but did u ever stop to think about where your handbag "sits" during the day?




>>Most women said that they wouldn't be surprised if their handbags were at least a little bit dirty. It turns out handbags are so surprisingly dirty, even the microbiologist who tested them was shocked. Amy Karen of Nelson Labs [Nelson Laboratories in Salt Lake in US] says nearly all handbags tested were not only high in bacteria, but high in harmful kinds of bacteria. Psudumonas can cause eye infections, staphylococcus aurous can cause serious skin infections, salmonella and e coli found on the handbags could make people very sick.

>>Leather/vinyl handbags tended to be cleaner than cloth handbags + people with kids tended to have dirtier handbags than those without, except one eception. The handbag of one single woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst contaminations of all."Some type of feces, or possibly vomit"

>>So the moral of the story, your handbag won't kill u, but it does have the potential to make u very sick if u keep it o the places where u eat. Use hooks to hang your handbags and dont put it on the table/desk/restaurant's table/kitchen countertop. Wash your handbags will help.




*****after reading this article, eventhough i seldom use handbags when i go out ~ my 'beg kuliah' .. emm..i used to put it on the floor..but not the toliet's floor ok! well, i just have to be careful next time.

*****speaking of leather, mom, could u buy me a new bag, a leather one? [since it's more cleaner than the cloth one] hehe
