Top 3 bacteria lurking in our carpet
Campylobacter
Campylobacter is most commonly found in damp sofas,
mattresses and carpets. It can cause an
illness infectious diarrhea, which can be dangerous to young children and old.
Bacteria, like mold, thrives in moist environments, therefore houses that
experienced flooding or leaking pipes may likely have a high level of
Campylobacter in their carpets, mattresses and sofas.
Norovirus (Norwalk Virus)
Norovirus are able to survive 3 to 5 weeks on fabric
fibers and can become airborne when agitated by movement. This virus causes the
notorious gastric flu and other digestive illness.
Salmonella
Salmonella can cause food poisoning. In serious cases can
cause typhoid fever which is fatal to the young and old. Salmonella is commonly
linked to food but it is actually alarming to note that Salmonella is commonly
found in household carpets. This is the reason why we should never eat food
that falls on the floor.
