Your smartphone screen may be dirtier than your toilet seat

I just read a news article that quoted a study which showed that a smartphone screen may be dirtier that a toilet seat. Now I'm feeling weird. Here I am typing and swiping and touching something hundreds of time sometimes even while eating and it it like tubing my hands on a toilet seat each time. Does this freak you out?
If you think toilet seats are the dirtiest ones swarming with germs, look at your smartphone. A research has revealed that smartphone screens have three times more germs than a toilet seat.

I never cleaned my smartphone screen, and before I ate I always washed my hands with soap and didn't hold the smartphone while eating.

I have no problems believing this. Door handles are even worse because strangers touch them, too. And do we know what they touched before? Better not think about it. If we weren't resistant against nearly all kinds of bacteria, humankind would have become extinct long ago.

Germs get everywhere. If you're not immune to them, they have a party!!
