Can your eco-friendly reusable drinking bottle make you sick?

Can your eco-friendly reusable drinking bottle make you sick?

While reusable drinking containers save money and are good for the environment, they could be not the best option for your health. According to a recent study, which describe them as being like a “portable Petri dish”, your reusable water bottle contains 40,000 times more bacteria than a toilet seat.

It seems that water bottle contains twice as many germs as the kitchen sink, four times the amount of bacteria as a computer mouse and 14 times more than a pet’s drinking bowl. The findings are shocking as people are likely to get infected with contaminated bottle in comparison to the predictably more contaminated products like toys, bags etc.

The researchers revealed that while gram-negative bacteria can cause infections that are increasingly resistant to antibiotics, certain types of bacilli can result in gastrointestinal issues.
