Bacteria

Remember these five easily forgotten spots the next time you wipe down and clean your kitchen.

Handles

Every handle in the kitchen — think dishwasher, refrigerator, light switch — is a hotbed for germs, considering the number of times they fall within the clutches of humans. Wipe down handles with a disposable disinfectant cleaning cloth at least once a week.

It's true what they say: Your keyboard is crawling with bacteria. But if you're a woman, you may have less to worry about.

MIDVALE -- Students at Midvale Middle School have been drinking bottled water and told not to wash their hands under the taps as officials try to clean bacteria from the water system.

MILWAUKEE — A potentially deadly bacterium was detected on alcohol prep pads produced by a New York medical manufacturer three months ago, but the product was not recalled until this week because federal regulators did not require it, the company said Wednesday.

OGDEN -- The Weber-Morgan Health Department said Monday that E. coli bacteria have been found in the water of the Ogden Valley summer camp where 11 young women got sick.

Department spokeswoman Lori Buttars said, "We received the confirmations of our tests today, and we found E. coli bacteria in the kitchen water and spigots at Camp Shawnee and Camp Ben Lomond, so we are in the process of working with them to fix that situation, and in the meantime, people who go there will need to bring in their own water and use it for everything."

Camp Shawnee and Camp Ben Lomond are girls and boys camps, respectively. They are near Eden and share a common water system. The camps are owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
