Annoying news for people with a fear of contamination:during a handshake ten times as many bacteria are transferred than during a boxing with fists against each other.
Contaminated glove
The experiment was conducted with gloves containing the E.coli bacterium, some types can cause food infection.
Sense or nonsense?
It may seem like a silly experiment, but the knowledge can come in handy when, for example, there is the flu. Then it is best to avoid the handshake.
Wash hands
Washing your hands thoroughly after every toilet visit also helps to prevent the spread of pathogens. But who says that whoever gives you a handshake does?
