Have you ever wondered where that rash came from? Does your doctor laugh when you tell him you have no idea where you got that infection? Perhaps there’s a foul odor that seems to follow you wherever you go? The answers to these questions might not be your sexual proclivities, it could be the fact that your phone has more germs than Paris Hiltons Chapstick.

Professor Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona has been studying the germs that are on cellphones and has found thousands of types of bacteria living on about 40% of the phones tested. These could be the cause of that red itchy rash you thought you caught from that girl you met who loves Appletini’s a little too much.

So from this you can do three things:

1. Never use someone else’s phone
2. Clean up your own phone with some anti-bacterial wipes
3. Get back at your roommate who stole your girlfriend by rubbing your phone all over his pillow
