A simple way to help save the planet could also be a great way to spread germs.

A microbiologist says reusable water bottles are a source of germs.

Especially when we leave the cap off when we're not drinking from it and whatever was on your lips and mouth goes into your bottle after the first sip even food particles go back into your water.

Germs including viruses, bacteria, and fungi thrive in moisture, and your gym bag or backpack so, get everyone in the family their bottle and wash it once a day.
