Our Refrigerator Contains 1.8 Million Bacteria
Approximately 1.8 million bacteria live in refrigerators, which are thought to be one of the cleanest spots in our homes. Millions of bacteria in the refrigerator can be the cause of many diseases.
According to a study, more than 1.8 million bacteria live in refrigerators used in homes, and these bacteria lead to many diseases, from bone and heart infections.
Bacteria that thrive in refrigerators are often caused by unwashed vegetables and cross-contamination. For this reason, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends that the food to be stored in the refrigerator be placed in airtight containers and kept on the upper shelves to prevent bacterial growth. The Ministry warns that eggs should be stored on the shelf in a cardboard box instead of the lid of the refrigerator.
A refrigerator is one of the items that take the order of cleaning in homes since it is an item that contains about 2,000 risky bacteria in every square centimeter.
Two kinds of microbe families live inside refrigerators. Disease-causing bacteria and spoilage-causing bacteria. Disease-causing bacteria can grow between 4 and 60 degrees Celsius and cause foodborne illness. However, there is usually no deterioration in the smell, taste, and appearance of the food.
In nature; It is very natural to have microorganisms in soil, air, water, and food. These microorganisms multiply rapidly on foods at moist and suitable temperatures and reach the level of causing disease. Having the refrigerator at the right temperature is not enough to destroy these bacteria. It just slows their development. When we open the refrigerator, the microorganisms coming from the environment and the raw animal products in the refrigerator and the microorganisms in the foods such as vegetables and fruits spread over time.
