Traces of poo has been found on every McDonalds touchscreen thats ever been tested
Welcome to Inform Overload, Im your host Johnny Rogers and if youre new to the channel, we
tell you about the most interesting news stories we find on the internet, and we make them
more entertaining Those touchscreen stations have become insanely
popular due to their convenience and for when you want to order a lot of food, but dont
want another human being to judge you in the process.
However after learning what Im about to tell you it may make you think twice about using
a McDonalds touch screen ever again.
Research tests were done by a UK news source called The Metro and on every screen that
they tested, faecal matter was found.
Dr. Paul Matawele from the London Metropolitan University microbiology department had this
to say - We were all surprised how much gut and faecal bacteria there was on the touchscreen
machines.
These cause the kind of infections that people pick up in hospitals.
We all knew McDonalds isnt the place you go to be healthy, but who knew you could be contracting
an illness just by entering the fast food establishment.
Now joking aside this can result in some serious repercussions.
One of the bacteria in particular can cause things like Toxic Shock Syndrome and blood
poisoning.
Possible signs of having toxic shock syndrome include a sudden high fever, vomiting, a rash
thats much like a sunburn on your palms, and even seizures.
Dr. Matawele also urges just how problematic this bacteria can be because of how contagious
is can become.
He said - it starts around peoples noses, if they touch their nose with their fingers
and then transfer it to the touchscreen someone else will get it, and if they have an open
cut which it gets into, then it can be dangerous.
Great so McDonalds now serves up poo and bugger based touchscreens.
Even more troublesome is that the bacteria is becoming resistant to antibiotics.
But guess what folks, it doesnt stop there.
They also discovered traces of listeria bacteria which can cause stillbirth and miscarriages
in pregnant women.
I know what youre thinking now, first ew gross and second what did Ronald McDonald have to
say when hearing this.
Well unfortunately the red headed clown was busy smearing his poo on the screens so a
spokesman for the company said - Our self-order screens are cleaned frequently throughout
the day.
All of our restaurants also provide facilities for customers to wash their hands before eating.
Awe how cute McDonalds lives in a world where they think everyone washes their hands the
moment they walk in.
The problem isnt that people arent washing their hands before they eat, the problem is
that people are walking in off the street after touching god knows what and then using
your machines.
They would be better off putting antibacterial soap next to each station and or limiting
the orders to the McDonalds app or ordering from a cashier.
At least that way these nose picking, poo covered hand people can just get germs on
their own phone.
My advice is to just order the old fashioned way, well my advice really is to just not
eat McDonalds, but if youre going to do it at least be safe about it.
Also if youre hell bent on using the machines please please please I urge you, clean your
hands before touching your face, before touching your phone and definitely before you eat.
I want to turn a question over to you people though, does this make you not want to use
the touch screens any more or does convenience make you want to take your chances on catching
something.
