Why You Should Never Wear Shoes Inside Your House

Recently there have been several scientific studies that prove wearing your shoes in the house is a bad idea. And as you've guessed, the reasons are pretty gross.

First, the truth is, there are some bacteria that is good for us. Second, this isn't it. Rare.us has procured some of these studies about the bacteria on our shoes. Here comes a staggering number.

421,000

That's the average number of different bacteria coming inside your home on the bottom of your shoe. Things like; dog poop, bird droppings, whatever you can imagine from a bathroom floor and more. E. coli and other bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections and respiratory infections.

It's entirely possible that you're thinking, "well I wiped off my shoes show the transfer to my floor shouldn't be that bad." Think again my nasty footed friend. Here's another staggering number.

90% - 99%

That's the range of transfer to your uncontaminated floor. That same floor that you thought was all good to grab a fallen pepperoni within 5 seconds and put in your mouth.

Oh, one last thing before you vomit. Another study confirmed the presence of another tasty bacteria.

C. diff (Clostridium difficile)

That bacteria is a public health threat resistant to tons of antibiotics. This bacteria can also cause several different health conditions, including diarrhea.
