People disinfect their toilet seats all the time, but they don’t realize that they really need to pay attention to their kitchen too. According to Dr. Charles Gerba, a microbiologist and professor at the University of Arizona in Tucson, there are 200 times more fecal bacteria on the average cutting board in a home than a toilet seat.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the most common bacteria that cause food poisoning are Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, and Campylobacter.
