Dr Gareth Nye , a senior lecturer in physiology at the University of Chester , has warned that your smartphone can harbour harmful germs that could then spread to your dining table.
Worryingly, this includes bacteria that can cause everything from food poisoning to skin infections.
In people with compromised immune systems, it can cause very nasty infections like sepsis or pneumonia.
Good hand hygiene and daily sanitisation of your phone should be enough to prevent most infections.
