READING:

Many people use smartphones in the toilet to send texts or check the latest social media videos. Doctors say using your phone on the toilet could damage your body. A doctor who graduated from Harvard University studied the functions of the stomach. He warned that bacteria in the bathroom contain many health risks. The doctor said too many people take their phones to the toilet without knowing about the dangers. He said we should stop this habit. He said being addicted to smartphones can have "some serious consequences".

People wrongly believe that using a smartphone in the toilet is harmless. The doctor said bacteria could damage the "toilet areas" of our stomach. Using a smartphone results in sitting on the toilet for a longer time. This puts extra pressure on our stomach and can make our veins swell up. Another hazard comes from germs. The doctor warned toilet germs can, "make your device a "breeding ground for bacteria". He added: "The average smartphone is dirtier than a public toilet seat, so try avoiding scrolling while using the toilet."
