Here’s a list of the five surfaces we touch every day that are totally and completely ENGULFED in germs.

#1.)  PUBLIC MAGAZINES. Magazines in waiting rooms, on airplanes, and at libraries get passed around through tons of people’s unwashed hands.  Plus, since they’ve got dry surfaces, bacteria like E. coli can survive on them for months.

#2.)  OFFICE KEYBOARDS. Your keyboard generally has about five times more germs as a PUBLIC TOILET SEAT.  The little gaps between the keys are the perfect place for bacteria to live and grow.

#3.)  THE GYM. A study a few years back found bacteria that could cause the cold virus on 73% of weights and 51% of aerobic equipment at the gym.  Wash your hands VIGOROUSLY after you work out.

#4.)  SHOPPING CARTS. In 2006, a study by the University of Arizona found that two out of every three shopping cart handles were contaminated with FECAL BACTERIA.

#5.)  SUBWAY POLES. Basically, any surface you touch on public transportation is completely covered in germs and bacteria.  Of all the things on this list, these are the MOST infected surfaces of all.

According to a new study 60% of people go online when they feel sick and try to diagnose their own illnesses.

At least half the time, the people CONVINCE themselves that they’re sicker than they are based on what they read on the Internet.

In fact, 20% of the time, people end up believing they’re suffering from the early stages of a HEART ATTACK.

Usually, that’s just INDIGESTION.

Here Are The Ten Most Common Mistakes People Make When They Use The Internet To Diagnose Themselves

#1.)  FOOD POISONING is usually just a regular upset stomach.

#2.)  FOOD POISONING can also just be a regular hangover.

#3.)  THE FLU is usually just a cold.

#4.)  A MIGRAINE is usually just a headache.

#5.) But A BRAIN TUMOR is usually just a migraine.

#6.)  APPENDICITIS is usually just normal lower stomach pain.

#7.)  ARTHRITIS is usually just stiff joints.

#8.)  LUNG DISEASE is usually just shortness of breath.

#9.)  KIDNEY DISEASE is usually just a lower back ache.

#10.)  A HEART ATTACK is usually just indigestion.
