Money
Amid a global pandemic, you may have noticed that cashless means of payment are becoming more ubiquitous. There is a reason for that. Money, or cash, to be more precise, has been handled by hundreds, if not thousands, of people since it went into circulation. For instance, $100 bills can be in use for up to 15 years!
Research has found that a lot of coins and cash contain bacteria strains, including E. coli and salmonella, as well things like oral and vaginal bacteria. Yes, you read that correctly.
So, you might want to convert to using cashless means of payment, such as your debit or credit card, since that is far easier to clean. And if you do have to handle bills and coins, be sure to wash your hands as soon as possible.
