3. Don’t Touch Your Ears

You may not know this but the insides of your ears are fragile and prone to damage, this is why you need to resist the urge to dig deep into your ears in order to remove wax. In fact, you should avoid sticking your fingers deep inside your ears at all costs because the skin that protects the ear canal is extremely thin.

In case you notice any issues, never attempt to treat yourself and consult an otolaryngologist as soon as possible.

4. Don’t Touch Your Nose

Many people feel free to touch their nose, especially when no one is watching. But this is a total no-no, as the inside of your nose consists of its own healthy bacteria. So when you put your dirty fingers in there, you transfer different bacteria which are not always welcome and can lead to nose infections.

Moreover, your hands, in turn, are going to carry out the nose bacteria and spread it everywhere around. This is highly problematic and should be avoided during flu/cold season.

Did you know that an average person’s mouth hosts about 34 to 72 different species of bacteria? Well, most of them are harmless and some are beneficial to your oral health, but the bad part is when you add in extra germs from your hands and mess with the balance of your mouth and eventually get sick.

And when you’re sick, you might transmit germs from your mouth to other people through any type of contact (from handshaking to borrowing their pen.) Keep your hands out of your mouth to stay healthy and avoid making others sick.

6. Don’t Touch Your Butt

Signs don’t exaggerate when they encourage people to wash their hands after using the bathroom. In fact, touching your anal area is a great way to spread bacteria and even E.coli. This is really dangerous and serious when you consider the recent news from popular coffee shops.
