Guest Shoes in Home: Whenever we come to our house, we take off our shoes and keep them in their place. However, sometimes we sit on the sofa and even come inside the house wearing shoes. On the other hand, if guests come to the house, then most of the guests come inside the house wearing shoes. If a guest comes to the house for some time and wants to take off his shoes, then we refuse him. In this situation, he comes home wearing shoes. But what effect does all this have on our health, have you ever thought? Whether guests should be allowed to come to the house wearing shoes or not, what are the disadvantages of this, what does medical science say on this subject, you will get information about all these things here.
life threatening diseases
In a report of Cleveland Clinic, internal medicine physician Dr. Daniel Sullivan says that it has been proved in many studies that there are innumerable bacteria present in shoes. Thousands of types of germs are hidden in shoes. When you bring shoes inside the house, these germs will start sticking to the floor and then spread everywhere. When the people of the house walk barefoot on the floor, these germs will start entering the body in some way or the other. Some people rub their shoes on the doormat. They think that this will remove the dirt from the shoes but it does not happen. When scientists tested the sole of the used shoes, many types of germs were found in it. Among these, Escherichia coli bacteria is prominent which spreads diarrhea. There is a superbug MRSA. If this superbug reaches the internal part of the body, it causes a life-threatening infection. Antibiotics also do not work on this bacteria. There is a Clostridioides difficile bacteria which is responsible for diarrhea as well as a fatal stomach disease called colitis.
Shoes contain heavy metal
Not only this, heavy metals were also found in the soles of the shoes which directly affect the brain. Lead was found in heavy metals which is very dangerous for children. Apart from all this, if someone in the house has a respiratory or allergy related disease, then bringing shoes into the house can cause problems to him/her. Harmful chemicals have also been found in the soles of the shoes.
So what should the guest say?
Dr. Daniel Sullivan says that it would be better if any guest comes and asks them to remove their shoes at the gate itself. Of course some people may have problem in entering the house without wearing shoes but do ask them to remove them. In countries like Japan, there is a culture of removing shoes outside the house. Earlier it was the same in our country also but now it is decreasing due to the glare of modernity. People come home wearing shoes. Especially when they come for a short while. You keep your house clean but if the dirt of shoes comes then there is no use of this cleaning. Therefore, do not enter the house wearing shoes yourself, first keep the shoes in the shoe rack near the door, then wash your feet with water and then come inside.
