Are there chemicals that could damage the camera/screen/USB port, what are the things one should I avoid when cleaning?

    I’d love to do a fecal swab test on your phone. I wonder how many times you’ve put it in your mouth to hold it. I wonder how many times you’ve ate shit.

      Yep, you’d definitely find some. just like everywhere else.

      I wonder how many times you’ve put it in your mouth to hold it.

      What? WTF? Never. Not in the nearly 30 years I’ve owned a cell phone have I EVER put it in my mouth. Why would you do that? I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone do that.

      I wonder how many times you’ve ate shit.

      Well, let’s not get into details. But it’s ironic that the same world with a profoundly unhealthy obsession with a germ-free environment is the same one that has normalized anal sex, ATM, and analingus.

      I tend to stay away from both extremes, wash my hands well, keep up with my vaccinations, and don’t stress over the fact that literally every single thing I touch is contaminated. The number of people who get sick (particularly with fecal coliform) from their phones is inconsequentially small.

      Yes, your phone is dirty; but if you clean it, you’ll be eliminating a tiny fraction of a percent of the bacteria and viruses you’re exposed to every single day of your life.

      You do you, but cleaning phones is almost entirely the product of fear mongering by the media. I didn’t think anyone actually bothered.
