Dr. Parich emphasizes that bacteria penetrate directly into the mouth - the simplest thanks to get any infection.

“We urge all healthcare providers to chop their nails short, because there are tons of germs that accumulate under the nails,” says Dr. Parikh. “And whenever you touch your face — especially your mouth, nose, and eyes — you usher in germs.” And you'll easily get sick. ”
