Enjoy a refreshing cup of tea at work? Recent research uncovers a surprising fact: non-paper tea bags can harbor significant bacteria levels.
Study samples revealed an average of 3,785 bacteria per tea bag—far exceeding the 220 bacteria typically found on an average toilet seat.
For individually packaged tea bags, other common office items include kettle handles (2,483 bacteria), mug rims (1,746 bacteria), and sugar boxes (1,406 bacteria).
