Bacteria exist for millions of years and they will exist in the far future. Human is in contact with millions of bacteria daily, but its immune system acts against them and keeps the person safe. There are bacteria which are not dangerous, but some bacteria are deadly for some organisms, including human.

You should know that no matter how often you clean your house, you’ll never get rid of all bacteria. Many think that the toilet is the place with most dangerous bacteria, but not at all. There are places in your house that have many more dangerous bacteria.

Then, there’s your toothbrush. The bacteria present on the toothbrush doesn’t transfer from your mouth, but the toilet. Whenever you flush water in the toilet, a lot of germs from bacteria and viruses are releasing in the air. This germs then stick on the toothbrush. 

Then, the TV remote control and the computer keyboard have many dangerous bacteria and viruses on their surface. Studies show that these devices have five times more germs than the toilet seat. Make sure you wash your hands before and after using these devices.
