An internal researcher at the British bedding company “Mattress Next Day” pointed out that following wearing the socks for a whole day, they were stained with pseudomonas aeruginosa (pseudomonas aeruginosa) commonly found in cockroaches and their feces. They may be dirtier than toilets and TV remote controls. Therefore, researchers urge you to never wear smelly socks to bed to prevent a large number of bacteria from contaminating the bed.

According to the New York Post, British bedding company “Mattress Next Day” hired experts to conduct a survey on the sleeping habits of 1,017 British people and found that regarding 18% of people wear socks while sleeping. But 70% of them do not put on new socks before going to bed, but go to bed wearing the same socks they have worn all day.

Then, the researchers studied the socks that had been worn for 16 hours and found that the socks contained pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium commonly found in cockroaches and their feces. They were dirtier than toilets and TV remote controls. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is very easy to spread. If you wear dirty socks to sleep, it will greatly increase the chance of human trachea and lung infection.

Researchers also revealed that there are regarding 250,000 sweat glands on the feet, which means that moisture can accumulate in dirty socks, which can produce fungi called dermatophytes, causing athlete’s foot (tinea pedis). In this regard, researchers also urge the public to put on new socks before going to bed and wash socks at temperatures above 140°F (60°C) to kill all bacteria.
