Socks~! It's a big problem if you don't take them off!

Have you ever fallen asleep without taking off your socks that you wore all day because of the overwhelming sleepiness?

If this habit repeats, the bacteria on the socks will transfer to the mattress or blankets.

There is a risk of infection spreading to people if not careful.

According to a study conducted in the UK, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found in half of the socks worn.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacteria found in cockroaches and cockroach droppings.

People with weakened immune systems can develop respiratory or urinary tract infections, rashes, itching, and folliculitis if infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

In particular, people with weakened immune systems such as those with diabetes, cancer, or newborns are considered high-risk groups for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

However, wearing clean socks that have already been washed and sleeping in them can sometimes be beneficial for your health.

People wearing clean socks fall asleep 7.5 minutes faster.

A study shows that sleeping 32 minutes longer results in waking up 7.5 times less often at night^^
