Can provoke diarrhea and food poisoning: the three most dangerous things in the kitchen are named

Every housewife spends a significant part of the day in the kitchen, and not everyone knows that even ordinary and harmless things can be dangerous for your health. As Dr. Peter reports, there are at least three sources of harm that are commonly ignored.

Means for washing dishes. There is an opinion on the Internet that dishwashing detergents can cause cancer. This fact has not been confirmed by scientists, so you should not worry about this. But such gels can dry the skin of your hands – so you should wash the dishes only with gloves on. In addition, it is very important to ensure that particles of dishwashing detergent do not remain on plates and mugs. If you thoroughly rinse the dishes, if the remedy remains, then in microscopic, insignificant doses. If you neglect this rule and do not rinse washed dishes properly, traces of detergent may remain on them, which, if ingested, can provoke diarrhea.

Cutting board. Even on the highest quality cutting board, many microcracks from a kitchen knife remain over time. Over time, they become larger, particles of products are clogged there. In fact, it is very difficult to thoroughly clean the cutting board to the end. Usually people lightly rinse it with water, and then wipe it with a sponge or cloth. As a result, microorganisms accumulate in the cracks. Some pathogenic bacteria can even cause food poisoning. Experts advise changing boards in a timely manner.

Oil fumes. When you fry something in boiling oil, you hardly think about the consequences for your health. Meanwhile, do not underestimate the harm of oil fumes. Scientists have found that such fumes, formed at high temperatures, contain more than 200 types of harmful substances, including the carcinogen benzpyrene. So the more fumes you inhale, the higher your risk of developing lung cancer.
