The study found that half of the public water sources tested contained levels of bacteria that were too high to count. 

Virginia Tech water expert Marc Edwards discusses the risks of using drinking water sources.

He also added that there is a possibility of dangerous pathogens that can live, including e-coli and legionella, which can cause digestive problems and symptoms such as pneumonia. 

4. Using a cellphone when eating

A busy schedule often forces you to call while eating. But, do you know that this activity can endanger health?

If you must use your cellphone while eating, be sure to clean it with a tissue.
