Old news, but always worth repeating: "Mobile phones can harbour 18 times more living bacteria than a flush on a men's toilet, according to research for consumer group Which?. A hygiene expert who swabbed and analysed 30 handsets for the study found seven had warning or high levels of environmental bacteria. One harboured levels of bacteria, including faecal coliforms, high enough to give its user a serious stomach upset."

My phone is also a urine cake. It smells great all the time.
