The American scientists are assured — in reusable plastic and paper packages for purchases dangerous bacteria which can cause serious diseases breed and even to lead to death of the buyers saving on purchase of new packages.
So, for example, in 1996 epidemic in Scotland has carried away throughout several days of a life of 26 persons. Doctors have found out that the activator was special штамм intestinal stick Escherichia coli. This bacterium, basically, is harmless, but its strain (enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli) can cause severe foodborne illness.
The group of the American scientists of university of the State of Arizona has made experiment in 3 cities of the USA: Taxon, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Researchers directly in the street stopped passers-by with plastic and jute packages in hands and took dabs from an internal surface of packages. The subsequent crops have shown that at half from them already there were bacteria Escherichia coli, and, besides, some kinds of other pathogenic microorganisms.
By results of parallel interrogation, 97 % of owners convenient and beautiful, but dangerous, packages never washed them and the more so did not subject disinfection. And to minimise risks, only and it is necessary — to wash daily packages with hot water with a washing-up liquid and carefully to dry in the turned out kind, it is desirable under direct beams of the sun.
