Shocking Experiment Reveals Pillowcases are Breeding Grounds for Bacteria
A recent experiment has revealed the shocking truth about pillowcases – they are breeding grounds for bacteria. Swab tests conducted on unwashed pillowcases showed that they accumulate 17,000 times more bacteria colonies than even a toilet seat. The bacteria, which thrive on dead skin cells, sweat, feces, and saliva, can cause skin infections and inflammation.
Dermatologists recommend changing or cleaning pillowcases at least twice a week, yet studies show that the average person only does so every 24 days.
According to Dr. Hadley King, a dermatologist and clinical instructor of dermatology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, pillowcases become contaminated with dead skin cells, sweat, makeup, lotions, hair, and other particles that accumulate throughout the day. Dust mites are attracted to these materials, leading to allergies, skin infections, and inflammations.
One type of bacteria commonly found on pillowcases is Staphyloc
