The dangers that lurk in your bathroom 可爱的橡皮鸭可能危害健康

在劳累的一天后能够在浴室里泡澡是一件非常惬意的事。但来自英国伦敦玛丽女王大学（Queen Mary University）研究病毒学的约翰·奥克斯福特（John Oxford）名誉教授说：“从卫生角度来看，浴室是一个难对付的地方。”一项由奥克斯福特教授监督指导的研究发现，在泡澡时常用来玩的橡皮鸭带有可致病细菌，这类玩具会给儿童和成人的健康带来危害。

The bath time routine – bubble bath, no-tear shampoo, plastic duck. Well, we can now add to that dense growths of bacteria and fungi. The Swiss researchers spent 11 weeks testing a range of bath toys and could give none a clean bill of health.

They say the problems are caused when warm water and the bodily fluids it contains remain trapped inside the toys. It’s a perfect breeding ground for potentially pathogenic bacteria.

The team say there is a risk of eye, ear or stomach infections and advise that rubber ducks or any other plastic toys be cleaned regularly or thrown away. 

孩子们沐浴时间的程序包括：泡泡浴、无泪配方的洗发露和塑料玩具鸭。那么，现在我们可得再加上密集生长的细菌和真菌。来自瑞士的研究人员花了11周的时间，测试了一系列沐浴玩具，但却无法证明其中的任何一种玩具是健康而卫生的。
