So you made it through the supermarket spiels, the optimistic trick-or-treaters and the awkward work Halloween party. You've read about the world’s most haunted houses. Thought your fear was over? Think again. Turns out there’s a whole lot of creepiness to be discovered in the home itself - in fact, it’s one of the most dangerous places you can find yourself in. Here are a few scary facts to sink your teeth into.
1. There are bugs living your pillow
There’s nothing bedbugs and dust mites find cosier than nestling up in some warm part of your favourite linen, your favourite clothing, your favourite pet and, yes, your pillow. Such creatures thrive on dead skin cells and it’s been estimated that at least a quarter of the weight of an old pillow is down to these guys, their corpses and their droppings. Yikes!
2. There are more germs on your smartphone touchscreen than the toilet seat
Your iPad can give you food poisoning? Is there an app for that? Strange but true, reports in recent years support the idea that all of our trigger-happy technological fingerwork is a great way to spread germs. Whether people are eating while on their phone, rushing for a quick toilet break, dropping their electronics on the floor or leaving them on the kitchen bench, we often don’t think too much about hand sanitation when it comes to our favourite toys.
3. Your bathtub is probably the most dangerous thing you own
Statistically, bathtub accidents account for a huge numbers of injuries, especially for children and the elderly. With modern fashions growing more and more daring by the year, and designs often growing less and less practical, thinking about bathroom safety has never been more important. Luckily, traction mats for the bath or shower and widely available.
