It makes sense, given that <A class="iAs" href="#" target="_blank">mobile phones</A> are awfully close to the haven for all germs -- the mouth -- where people with colds, flus, and any number of other conditions are coughing, sneezing and wheezing.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/340/C8942/"><DIV> They're saying that there are "tens of thousands of microbes living on each square inch", making cell phones even more germ-y than a toilet seat. This is because handsets "come into contact with… a wider range of bacteria than toilet seats." That's a little disconcerting, to say the least. According to expert microbiologists, the constant handling and heat (from your breath, for example) creates an optimum breeding round for "all sorts of bugs."</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/340/C8942/"><DIV> As if the cancer-causing claims weren't enough, now you have to worry about catching a cold (or worse) from your cell phone…</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/277350B0-B513-49D0-90B3-8059B7F4C31D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
