The toilet seat has acquired an unfair reputation

The toilet seat has acquired an unfair reputation as the dirtiest item in the average household. But scientists say there are far filthier places in our house, some of them where we least expect.

1) Kitchen Sink - Most think otherwise, but the kitchen might be the dirtiest place in your home. There are typically 500,000 bacteria per square inch in the sink drain alone.

2) Light Switch - Over the years your dirty hands contribute to 217 bacteria per square inch.

3) Door Knobs - As mentioned before, the hands are one of the dirtiest parts of the human body. Touching door knobs, which are also rarely every cleaned, transfers the germs and bacteria from everyone else who has touched that knob to your hand.

4) Computer Keyboard - Be sure to spray your keyboard with compressed air and wipe clean with a cloth and mild detergent. In a random study of 33 keyboards, four were health hazards.

5) Money - The Health Commissioner for New York found 135,000 bacteria from washing one bill and 126,000 from another. Make sure to thoroughly wash your hands any time you handle money directly.

6) Kitchen Sponge - The crevices in sponges make it difficult to disinfect and users are generally just transferring bacteria from one place to another. An easy remedy is to microwave the sponge for approximate 60 seconds, and it will improve odor too!

7) Refrigerator Handle - Since nobody ever cleans fridge handles the bacteria stays and has a lot of time to multiple and grow.

8) Mobile phone - It is so widely used that it contains more than 18 times the harmful germs that your toilet flush handle. This is available for your house telephone too.
You should clean and disinfect it often using antibacterial tissues.

9) TV Remote - Add to that the SARS, MRSA and VRE bacteria that is easily transferable by touching TV remotes. Hotels are notorious for this, so be sure to wrap it in plastic during your next stay.

Some amazing baby facts

Some amazing baby facts!

1. Men are the best at changing a baby's diaper. Men take just over a 1 minute while women can
take over 2 minutes to change a diaper. This will come in handy given that on average a baby will go through about 7,500 diapers per year.

2. About 1/4 of a baby's weight is accounted for by their head. Their brain accounts for about 10% of its total body weight. In adults the brain is only about 2% of their body weight. The males brain is slightly larger than that of the female brain at all stages of development. If you eat fish during pregnancy you can increase your baby's brain development as well as provide them with better communication skills.

3. Studies suggest that cesarean babies are more likely to have breathing difficulties, since they miss out important hormonal and physiological changes that occur during labor.

4. A baby has around 10,000 taste buds, which is far more than any adult has. Taste buds in babies can be found on their tongue, roof, sides and back of their mouth. These extra taste buds do disappear once they get older.

5. It is the father's sperm that decides the sex of your baby and it is determined at around 10 weeks after birth whether your baby is right-handed or left-handed.

6. Newborn babies urinate about every 20 minutes and once they reach 6 months they urinate every hour.

7. Babies are born with many super human powers such as a strong grasp that is able to hold their entire body weight with just their fingers and being able to swim and hold their breath under water immediately after being born. However the ability to swim and hold their breath under water quickly leaves.

8. If your child is overweight, they are up to 5 times more likely to have a heart attack by the age of 65. If your child is born in the month of May they are on average 200 grams heavier at birth then other babies. The heaviest baby born on record is just over 22 lb. and was born in 1955.

9. When babies are born they have 300 bones, but by adult they only have 206 boned in their body. This is due to the fact that some bones fuse together.

10. The only organ to develop fully before birth is the inner ear. It reaches its adult size by the middle of pregnancy. On the contrary babies are born with no kneecaps. Kneecaps don’t develop until about 6 months.

Did you know

Did you know

that open-mouth kissing allows for the transfer of hormones from a man to a woman? Mucus membranes in the mouth are permeable to hormones like testosterone, which a man can introduce into a woman's mouth through kissing. The testosterone then increases arousal in the woman, which leads to higher chances of sex!
