Health hazards in your handbag
Many of us wouldn’t consider the impact of our handbag on our health, however research suggests this essential fashion item could be more risky than you think. As our handbags tend to travel most places with us and are often placed on floors, they can easily pick up germs throughout the day. A study by microbiologists tested swabs taken from the outside and bottom of handbags and found that your handbag could contain thousands, or even millions, of bacteria, including fecal bacteria and viruses that can cause colds and stomach upsets. However, when it comes to your handbag, it’s not just what’s on the outside that counts. Here are five health dangers lurking in your handbag.

Replywhy do celebrities or any other person need to tell the world about their sexual preferences ... we, the masses, do not care ... BAN artificial reproduction, let nature take its course !! the girls in London should just hand out business cards ( in day time ) and have a mobile phone .. see inside a lot of fancy hotels ! Train all adults in handling a gun and issue one to everyone .. ban all others .. watch crime and threat of invasion dissipate ! Workers hopefully will not vote for Abbott and Bishop
