A new study into the of supermarkets has found that shopping carts are than the store’s bathrooms. Microbiologist Dr Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona research on the handles of 85 carts in four American states. He reportedly found bacteria from human on the handles of 72 per cent of them. "That's more than you in a supermarket's toilet," Dr Gerba said. He : "That's because stores use disinfecting in the restrooms. Nobody seems to routinely and disinfect shopping carts." Further, half of the carts in Dr Gerba’s study tested for E. coli bacteria, a nasty germ that can cause diarrhoea, vomiting and infection.

Professor Gerba is known as “Dr Germ” because of the of studies he has done on bacteria and everyday . His previous studies of bacteria on reusable shopping bags, airplane seat-back trays, -floor elevator buttons, water fountain toggles, computer keyboards, iPads and playground . He said just about anything by children has a high of contamination. He advised people to reusable shopping bags after use, otherwise they’ll become full of “bacterial swamps”. He : “It’s like wearing the same underwear every day.” Gerba said the best way to avoid getting sick from shopping trolleys is to wipe the with a disinfectant cloth and wash your hands often.
