Medical Video: CHEAPEST FAMILY EVER
When you are exhausted, the body is usually very easily attacked by bacteria or viral diseases. This is due to decreased immunity, while bacteria and viruses are always around you. This is also because bacteria and viruses that cause disease need a place to live, one of which is the human body. Even so, it turns out that bacteria and viruses are also able to live outside the human body. Then, how long can they survive outside the human body?
How long can disease viruses survive outside the human body?
Flu and cough can be said to be an infectious disease of uta million people ’whose transmission is very easy. Flu and cough are caused by many types of viruses. In general, all viruses of this disease can survive at least 7 days at room temperature. However, this depends on each surface that is visited by the virus.
On non-porous surfaces, such as plastic or iron, viruses can last longer. Meanwhile, the virus cannot last more than 24 hours if it attaches to a surface that has pores, for example clothes or cloth. Viruses that cause other respiratory infections can even survive on door handles for up to 6 hours.
So, simply like this, if you have a flu virus on your shirt - which comes from someone else - you might catch a cold for about 24 hours. The same thing will happen when you hold the door handle or other objects contaminated with the flu virus.
But it still depends on how strong your immune system is against the virus. If your body loses, then soon you will experience flu symptoms.
However, the bacteria that cause digestive disorders can last longer
Diarrhea is the second most common infectious disease in children. the bacteria that cause this disease are E. coli, Salmonella, Clostridium difficile, and Campylobacter. On porous surfaces such as cloth, Salmonella and campylobacter bacteria, can last for 1-4 hours. While Clostridium bacteria can last longer, up to 5 months.
When a person is infected and has symptoms of vomiting, the droplets of vomit can be attached to the surface of the surrounding objects. If you hold or are exposed to the surface of the contaminated object, it will not take long for you to experience indigestion again.
