3. Cross-Contamination Through Water Droplets
Direct contact with infected water isn’t the only way in which you might contact a direct H. Pylori infection. People might imagine that physically drinking infected water is the most obvious way to get the infection, but there are also other ways – including contact with anything that infected water might have touched.
Condensation is an entirely natural process, but when water droplets form they can become a breeding ground for all sorts of different bugs and bacteria. Some of these can include H. Pylori and other bacteria found in the same family. Contact with water droplets is often not considered a serious “alarm bell” for most people, but it’s just as dangerous as drinking infected water straight from the source.
Water droplets are a far less obvious way to be exposed to diseases and bacterias, partially because water droplets can find their way on to many things (including foods and surfaces) where they can help to spread these conditions to the next person.
