Familiar body parts such as the face, fingers, navel,... are all on the list of places where many bacteria reside.

You still think that the anus is the dirtiest place on the human body, which is completely wrong. Scientists have proven that many other parts of the body are many times "dirtier" than the anus, without us even knowing it.

Here are the 8 dirtiest parts of the body that we should avoid touching every day:

1. Face

Many people have the habit of rubbing their face without knowing that this is the place with the most bacteria on the body. Because the face often secretes oil, creating an ideal living environment for bacteria, and using the phone every time you make a call, also contributes to the spread of bacteria.

2. Ear

Earwax is a place that contains a lot of bacteria and the ear is also one of the dirtiest places announced by scientists. Therefore, you need to maintain the habit of cleaning the ear area regularly.

3. Eyes

The corners of the eyes are a place where bacteria can grow, and eyelashes are no less important because they act as curtains to prevent dirt. Knowing this, limit touching your eyes to avoid spreading bacteria throughout your body.

4. Mouth

Harvard professors have discovered more than 615 different types of bacteria that can live in the mouth. They also recommend rinsing and brushing your teeth twice a day to help eliminate harmful bacteria.

5. Nose

Many people have the habit of picking their nose, but this is very dangerous. The nose is one of the eight dirtiest parts of the body, and if you accidentally scratch the skin, bacteria can be harmful to your health.

6. Nails

This is where many dangerous bacteria can even kill you. Bacteria hidden under your fingernails and skin can spread many dangerous diseases and infections to open wounds.

7. Anus

There are over a thousand types of bacteria that live in your digestive tract and are excreted through your anus. This makes the anus the dirtiest part of your body.

8. Navel

Many people probably do not know that the navel is also a place that contains a lot of bacteria that are invisible to the naked eye. The reason is that the navel area is deeply sunken into the skin, both private and warm, creating an ideal environment for bacteria to grow and thrive.
