Wearing shoes in the house could track in dangerous pathogens
(KYMA, KECY) - A lot of us wear our shoes around the house but you might want to think twice.
Researchers with 360 Dust Analysis say leaving your shoes on inside the house could bring-in potentially harmful pathogens from outside.
They say shoes can carry micro-organisms that are drug-resistant, including hospital-associated infectious germs that are difficult to treat.
Toxic road asphalt residue and lawn-treatment chemicals could also be tracked indoors.
