Staphylococcus (staph) is an infection caused by bacteria often found on the skin or in the nose.While it’s unlikely to spread serious germs from your clothes into your home, the most concerning germs that can spread and cause infection include: Read more: Documentary airs out the dangers of mold in homes, offices » “With that in mind, if you’re coming in for 10 minutes and going out again, it’s probably not that big of a deal to stay in the same clothes, but if you’re coming in, sticking around for a few hours, and touching all the different surfaces in your home, it’s a good idea to change,” he said.
He points out that when people have clothes on, they shed 37 million microorganisms every hour. So, Tetro says play it safe by changing into a new set of clothes to minimize the chance of transferring microbes to surfaces or other people in the house. “If you’re on the commuter bus, train, subway, at day care, school, or work you can pick up all sorts of bacteria and possibly viruses and fungi from other people and then bring them home.”ĭifferent kinds of microbes will survive in clothing for different amounts of time and it’s difficult to know if people or surfaces you come into contact with are infected with harmful microbes. The majority of microbial species - viruses, bacteria, and fungi - are coming from other humans,” Jason Tetro, microbiology researcher, and author of “The Germ Files” told Healthline. “As much as I’d like to say, ‘Don’t worry about it,’ the fact is we live in urban societies and in an urban environment. If the first thing you do when you get home is plop on the couch in the same clothes you’ve been wearing all day, you may want to reconsider.
