Super disgusting! There are as many bacteria in the kitchen as in the stool. Try these 10 sterilization methods quickly.

Kitchen cabbage is the largest bacterial restaurant in the world.

It is not surprising that children want to keep pets. Their ideal pet is a pony in the garden, or a guinea pig. If not, the mouse can do it at any time! But somewhere in the world, there is a little boy who has a pet named margot, which is a kitchen vegetable cloth.

Far from being frightened, the little boy's mother disclosed her son's love for this plastic cube on the Internet. Based on the complete ecosystem of cabbage, it can really be treasured as a pet, which is her defense.

"For those of us who don't have pets, the kitchen vegetable cloth can completely play the role of a dog or a cat, at least it has as many bacteria as cats and dogs." This woman named johanna said seriously.

Is johanna's skull broken? I don't know her, and I don't know her son, but this story has aroused my interest, because I am also responsible for this incident in the kitchen. In the summer of 20 17, my colleague * * * and I published a research report, which revealed for the first time the huge number of bacteria in the cabbage patch-a good helper in the kitchen, with no less than 54 billion bacteria living per cubic centimeter.

The bacterial content is as high as that of stool samples.

Contrast: It is speculated that since Homo sapiens appeared 200,000 years ago, about 1000 billion people have lived on this earth. There are more bacteria living in two cubic centimeters of Chinese cabbage fields than people who have played on the earth. To achieve such a dense biomass, three trillion rows of people must be piled up in the Grand Canyon.

Is the world capable of understanding this discovery? It was not until we found this clerical error in a report that we really realized how ignorant the general public was about the "richness" or "scarcity" of the microbial world.

It should be 5.4× 10 10 bacteria. In the report, it was changed to "We found 5.4× 10 10 bacteria in each cubic centimeter of Chinese cabbage cloth". According to this formula, the number of bacteria is 5454-in the eyes of microbiologists, this number is absurd. But some media continue to quote this report, and they are surprised: Wow! There are 5454 bacteria per cubic centimeter in cabbage cloth!

But what finally caused the uproar was another thing: to find other places with dense microbial populations like cabbage fields, only human feces were sampled.

The New York Times's editor obviously thinks so, too. A few weeks after the study was published, she contacted me by phone. You know, the sanitary problem of cauliflower cloth is a very serious matter in the United States, and Americans are as enthusiastic about it as they are about religion. In countless blogs and YouTube videos, experts who call themselves experts have taught us how to successfully save cauliflower cloth from microorganisms.

The editor in The New York Times asked me, how do I know if I should throw the cabbage field? I wanted to be funny, so I said, "When the cabbage started to walk by itself." I can't help thinking of a famous horror film "Troublemaker". One of the clips is that the steak stands up and walks on the kitchen counter as if by magic. I didn't expect the editor to take it seriously, and it took me a long time to explain it to her. This is just a joke.

This short story, which was finally published in The New York Times, actually answers an interesting question in an interesting way: Why does cabbage cloth stink? The correct answer should be because of the existence of Moraxella Oslo, a celebrity in the bacterial world. This kind of bacteria will produce a musty smell, and sometimes, if you put the washed clothes in a humid environment, it will also have this smell.

Bacteria in feces enter cabbage fields through salad leaves.

According to my experience, vegetarians who don't eat meat will expect the bacterial colonies in their kitchen vegetables and melons to be less lively. However, it depends. Of course, the bad bacteria attached to the meat are isolated, but other bad guys we knew before can still come in.

For example, Listeria is lurking in plant products. There is also Escherichia coli, which will also be the problem of fruit and vegetable salad. Do you remember? Fenugreek bean sprouts broke out in 20 1 1 year because of pollution. Fenugreek bean sprouts should appear in the homes of vegetarians, not sausage fans or hamburger fans.

If the water used to irrigate salad leaves and vegetables is contaminated by fecal bacteria, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if the salad leaves are washed quite cleanly, the clean melon cloth standing in the sink may come into contact with the polluted water. This is an interesting cycle: the bacteria in the feces go from irrigation water to salad leaves, and then enter the cabbage field in this way.

Bacteria in the intestine, such as Escherichia coli, will be found when detecting the pericardium cloth. The reason is that Escherichia coli can survive for a long time after leaving the warm and comfortable large intestine. Because people cook, stir-fry and bake in the kitchen, the temperature here is easily higher than other places in the house. Dishwashers and washing machines raise the ambient temperature.

Warm and humid work side by side, only to create a perfect living condition for bacteria. Therefore, microorganisms grow and multiply in this small yellow, blue and pink plastic cube. At the same time, we don't know anything, and we don't know that we have brought the wolf into the room, because it is impossible for the naked eye to judge how dirty the cabbage cloth is.

So, I want to tell you an ugly naked fact: if you really want to ensure safety, this thing can be thrown into the trash can after a week of use, and then a new kitchen helper bag can be opened. However, I have learned one thing over the years: the truth is not easy to be accepted by the public.

Some people change cars for three or five years without blinking, or buy new clothes every month, but they have a strange stingy attitude towards vegetables and melons. This happened not only in Schwaben, where I live, but almost everywhere in the whole western civilized world.

Ten best ways to sterilize cabbage patch (but it may not have any effect)

1. throw it into the washing machine (water temperature 60 degrees, full-effect cleaner).

Steam (at high pressure) in a steamer

3. Dishwasher washing (intensive washing process)

4. Microwave in the microwave oven (if the cabbage cloth is wet, add some detergent)

Soak in bleached water

6. Put it in a pot and boil it for disinfection.

7. Soak in vinegar or other acidic solution

8. Wash with detergent and warm water, and then dry.

9. freeze

10. Soak in a probiotic solvent made of lactic acid bacteria.
