Personal items that are unhygienic to share even with those closest to you

You respect the principles of people who don't want to share personal items with you, but you also learn to stand up for yours. You can't share everything with everyone.

A list of personal items that we feel comfortable giving we lend to others, varies from individual to individual. Some have no problem with their partner lend toothbrushes, still others are allergic, if someone simply touches their objects.

It's okay to learn withrespect other people's principles, but it is also important that stick to yours!

PERSONAL ITEMS THAT YOU DO NOT SHARE EVEN WITH YOUR CLOSEST ONES:

Scissors and nail clippers

Scissors and nail clippers are supposed to harbor a lot of bacteria, viruses and fungi. As long as the person you are borrowing personal items from is healthy and you have a well-developed immune system, you may not catch anything. But various fungal diseases can quickly occur, experts say.

Earrings

The ear lobes are supposed to have good blood circulation, which means that the holes in the ears can quickly become inflamed and thus the earrings are a determined medium for the transmission of various infections. 

If you borrow earrings, disinfect them.

Deodorant

You can borrow spray deodorant from someone else, but don't do it if it's in a solid or liquid aggregate state. After shaving, imperceptible sores remain on the skin, and wearing deodorant can cause infection.

Lip gloss

The herpes virus is said to be passed from one person to another through the exchange of lip makeup, even if the person has no sign of having the virus.

Beautiful lip color is not worth the risk of infection.

Eyebrow shaping tweezers

It is not a problem to borrow eyebrow shaping tweezers if it is only used to remove growing hairs. If the person you borrow the tweezers from also uses it to remove ingrown hairs (and comes into contact with blood), a nasty infection can result.

OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS NOT TO BE SHARED

If you want to protect against unpleasant infections, it is mortal that also many others the objects are only used by you. The main reason why you shouldn't share them is bacteria. When sharing towels, body wash sponge, makeup brushes, headphones, hair brush ... the possibility of transferring bacteria increases, experts say.
