Why You Shouldn't Share Your Earphones With Anyone

Okay, so sharing earphones with your mates is definitely something you should NOT do. 

Kelly Reynolds, Ph.D., associate professor of environmental health at the University of Arizona, told BuzzFeed that because our ears are full of wax, dead skin cells and bacteria, swapping buds between mates is not a healthy thing to do.

Also, when you put them down on things like tables, they pick up germs from the surface.

You can avoid infections by regularly cleaning your earphones (you're meant to clean them once a week). But tbh that's probably not happening so just DON'T SHARE THEM. Earphones are now officially off limits.
