scientists have shared which everyday items you keep to yourself since
childhood our parents have taught us that sharing is good whether it's the
last piece of candy or deep emotions and fears however when it comes to sharing
some personal things there's a bold line that should not be crossed for the sake
of your own health one hats that's right hats or anything that covers or touches
your head including brushes combs pillowcases etc we believe that you're
already familiar with the almost magical ability of combs and brushes to spread
lice especially at school however the same unwanted guests on your scalp can
come from sleeping on someone else's pillow or wearing a friend's hat to
cream masks serums or face creams that come in a jar are very personal items of
skincare as you're dipping your finger into it repeatedly there's potential for
the spread of bacteria especially if you share it with a friend
this may lead to fungal infection rashes eczema psoriasis and many other skin
problems don't share your beauty products with anyone so as to avoid
numerous doctor appointments 3 underwear or socks you share most things so what's
wrong with sharing your underwear however you should always remember that
some areas of people's bodies are completely different
sharing underwear with your partner can lead to urinary tract infections a
switch of genital germs rash itching etc as for sharing socks it can lead to foot
fungus heel infections itching and hives for floss toothpicks or toothbrushes we
can't even imagine a more personal item of hygiene and doctors put a strict ban
on sharing toothbrushes with anyone according to the American Dental
Association sharing a toothbrush could result in an increase of infections an
average toothbrush that you've been using for three months might hold a lot
of bacteria like e-coli Staphylococcus aureus oral *** bacteria the remains
of food etc five shaving razors shaving razors are
among the many products that should be reserved for your personal hygiene only
according to dr. Feinberg you should never share your razor with anyone
because hepatitis and other infections can be spread this way as well as *** a
lot of bacteria and even fungi thrive on your razor and can cause many skin
problems 6 pumice stones many people use pumice stones to exfoliate their feet
and remove dead skin cells it's not what you want to catch from other people
right sharing them increases the probability of getting warts and fungi
on your feet these infections are highly contagious and are hard to get rid of
