highlights:
Many of the women we interviewed admitted they put their purses on the floor in public restrooms, at food courts, in dressing rooms, in the floor board of the car.
They found one bad bug on every single purse tested in the Metro. It's staphylococcus aureus and it's on the FDA's bad bug list. It's the bug that gives you food poisoning
They found e.coli bacteria on one out of four purses. They also found hepatitis and other bugs that can make you seriously ill, causing everything from the common cold to diarrhea.
every time you flush a toilet, an aerosol mist of water containing bacteria and fecal matter rises from the toilet and settles on everything nearby: your purse, shopping bag and maybe your child. If you're at home, your countertops and maybe your toothbrush are at risk. You can't see those germs but they land all around you and your things.
