A newly conducted scientific study concluded that traditional cotton children’s games, or what is known as “Dabdib”, is widespread, is a source of pollution, bacteria and diseases more than toilets.
The study, whose results were published by the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, concluded that the game stuffed with cotton that is in the form of an animal and is widely spread among children wherever they are in the world, is a source of germs and pollution, and therefore it may be a cause of disease, whether for the child himself or the rest of his family at home.
The analyzes revealed the number of germs that may multiply on stuffed games, as researchers from the Mattressnextday Foundation found that a single bear game carries twice the number of germs in the one toilet seat.
It is concerned that these germs include the coli and the coli cyanosis, which are bacteria that can lead to serious infections in children.
“The fact that I refer here is that we are not only dealing with dirt. We are dealing with hidden health risks that pose a real danger, especially in homes that include young children or individuals with weak immune system.” “Cleaning these elements must be a priority to protect health and safety.”
To conduct the study, the team took samples of seven different sites for four elements: a blanket, a child doll, a trash and a toilet seat.
Then these samples were subjected to a vital lunch test (ATP), which measured the amount of adenosine tripod, which is a molecule in and around living cells.
The results revealed that 43% of the blankets and about a third of (29%) bears dolls that were surveyed showed readings exceeding 1,000 units, indicating high pollution levels.
While it is believed that the garbage basket and the toilet seat are full of germs, it was found that it was clean than the blanket and the doll.
The average toilet seat reading was 864 units, while the average reading of garbage basket was only 294 units.
Based on these results, Dr. Jayj called on parents to be careful when cleaning their children’s blankets and toys. She said, “I cannot exaggerate the hidden risks to neglecting washing blankets and dolls of bears.”
“These things that seem innocent are an ideal environment for bacteria, fungi and allergens,” she added.
She continued: “The results of the recent biomus testing, which showed high levels of RLU on the dolls of the bears and blankets that were wiped, reveal an anxious fact, which is that these things can accumulate a huge amount of microbial pollution that often passes without notice.”
The expert added that germs, such as the staphylococcus and the coli, poses a great danger, especially for children whose immune devices are still in the process of growth. “In children, the risks are more clear,” added Dr. Jayge.
