Another dangerous place steel armrests: their tissue bacteria are kept up to 96 hours. According to scientists, they are unpleasantly surprised how It turned out to be a long residence time of bacteria in the environment. "Sometimes rather indirect contact with the infectious agent, to catch "- biologists say the risk of infection.
