Your house contains many different organisms, pathogens, and bacteria, which are harmful to human health. Usually, they are in such small quantities that they are not dangerous. In fact, most of these pathogens and harmful bacteria are even swept away in routine cleaning.
However, if you fail to give your house the attention it deserves, the number of these dangerous organisms can increase considerably — posing a threat to the health of you and your family.
Some of the most common and prominent examples of such hidden health threats are:
1. Dust Mites
Dust mites are microscopic arachnids which live on dead skin cells and dust. They cannot be seen with the naked eye and are every present everywhere.
They usually do not harm people since they are carried away in cleaning. If, however, you leave dust unattended for too long and it builds up, you can very well catch asthma and a variety of other respiratory diseases from dust mites and their droppings.
2. Salmonella
Salmonella is the leading cause of stomach infections and food poisoning in most cases. It is present on contaminated food or food which has been inadequately cooked or stored.
It is found naturally on sources of protein like raw eggs, poultry, and meat. It is killed off by high heat.
Normally, salmonella is found in your kitchen after touching and using the above-mentioned meats but it does not affect people because of proper hygiene.
This includes no cross contamination, wiping knives and other cutting utensils, and washing cutting boards and other objects that come in contact with the meat.
If, however, you do not do this, then it can rapidly and dangerously build up and cause severe food poisoning which will surely land you in the hospital.
3. Mold Spores
Mold spores are another common element abundantly present in the atmosphere and air we breathe. They take root in damp, wet, and dirty spots which are not exposed to light or cleaned. Most houses do not catch mold due to proper cleaning standards.
Once it sets in, however, mold can cause a variety of problems from a bad odor to respiratory problems.
4. Choking Hazards
If you don’t tidy up and clean after yourself then chances are there will be all sorts of small objects lying around in your house.
This is not a problem if you’re a bachelor or a couple, but if you have children or pets, even objects like wrappers can pose potential choking hazards and health threats.
