New research has found that petrol pumps are something humans touch approximately twice a week and is so ridden with germs it is 11,000 times more utterly disgusting than your toilet seat.
The researchers swabbed three petrol station’s pumps and found that, on average, there were 2,011,970 colony-forming-units, or CFUs, also known as visible bacteria, per square inch. Toilets tend to have 172 CFU per square inch, while handbags on average have 9.7 and money 5.2. The germs found on the pumps could cause skin infections, toxic shock syndrome, pneumonia and food poisoning.
