Did you know that wearing shoes inside the house triggers the growth of infection in the body? Bringing shoes into the house risks carrying bacteria, one of which is E. coli.
As is known E. coli is a bacterium that lives in the intestines of humans and animals. One particular type of bacteria can enter the human body and can cause intestinal infections.
Then why wear shoes in the house can be dangerous? Because when outside, shoes can step on a lot of dirty objects that contain E. coli bacteria.
E. coli bacteria can cause symptoms of intestinal infection including diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain. Even in severe cases it can cause meningitis. There are more than 4 million types of bacteria in shoes that are at risk of transmitting bacteria into the home as much as 90 to 99 percent.
A study conducted in 2017 found that a bacterium named Dlostridium diffivile found in 25 percent of shoes, leading to swelling of the colon.
Previously, the bacteria were suspected to come from hospitals, but after a study on 2 thousand more samples, only 448 were originally from the hospital.
Therefore to prevent E. coli bacteria from entering your house, do not wear shoes in the house and off the shoes before entering the house. Many think that rubbing shoes on a mat can help clean it up.
Although it is true, but the mat will eventually become a breeding ground for bacteria.
Especially when in the house there are small children and elderly, you should immediately remove it outside. Because the bacteria in it will be more dangerous for them, because the immune system is not as strong as adults.
Don't forget to wash your hands after removing shoes. Or use disinfectant spray on your shoes occasionally and whenever possible wash your shoes.
