Fist bumps more hygienic than handshakes

Posted by: admin , July 30, 2014

A recent study has found that fist bumps are more hygienic than handshakes and drastically reduce the risk of spreading infectious diseases.
Notably, the humble fist bump transfers approx 90 per cent less bacteria than a handshake.
The research was performed by UK researchers and published in the August edition of the American Journal of Infection Control.
The research was carried out by counting the number of bacteria transferred between sterile rubber gloves after the exchange of different greeting gestures.
