A study shows that one third of pillows used for sleeping are homes for various paracites ,,living and dead ,their wastes , dead skins and microbes .The study found in hospital settings so many species of bacteria mainly staphylococcus resistant to antibiotics ,E-coli and viruses especially those responsible for flu, hepatitis and chickenpox etc.
The culture of "hand washing" is ideal in the control and prevention of infecetions , but the pillows still remains a haven for the proliferation of microbes due to sweats , tears and discharges through coughing and sneezing and dead cells shed during the night .The heat of our bodies helps these microbes to grow and multiply .
The question i ask is " How safe is your pillow ?"
