Research shows that hands play a major role in the transmission of germs. Even after washing, hands and fingers are quickly re-contaminated. That's especially true if you haven't clipped your nails lately, or if you sport some bling. According to Men's Health, "Research shows that hands play a major role in the transmission of germs," says Kelly Reynolds, PhD, an associate professor in the Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona. "Even after proper washing, hands and fingers are rapidly re-contaminated from the surrounding environment."

Here are some places you should never touch with your hands:

1. Your Ear Canal

You should never stick your fingers—or anything else—in your ears. Introducing anything into the ear canal can tear the thin skin that lines the ear canal. If you feel a persistent itching sensation in your ears, see a doctor. Don’t dig around in there yourself.

2. Your Face

You can use your hands to wash your face or apply skincare. But otherwise, keep your paws off. When you rest your hands on a germy surface and then bring them to your forehead, it increases your likelihood of getting sick—and breaking out, too. Your fingers contain oils that can plug your pores.

3. Your Butt

Wiping and washing aside, just don't. Your backside does contain bacteria that could potentially be harmful.

4. Your Eyes

Unless you're putting in contacts or washing something out of your eye, keep them off limits. You can easily introduce germs into your eyes. Those bugs could cause pinkeye or other infections.

5. Your Mouth

Recent research from the U.K. found that people put their fingers on or around their mouths an average of 23.6 times per hour when they were bored at work. That's a problem: in a study, a third to a quarter of germs tested transferred from study subjects' fingers to their mouths.

6. The Inside of Your Nose

Quit digging for gold: In a study of ear, nose, and throat patients, nose pickers were 51% more likely to carry Staph bacteria in their noses than those who kept their hands off.

Is there a Spotify song limit?

The streaming service has finally removed the 10,000-song cap, allowing users to “like” an unlimited number of songs on the platform. Users have been complaining about the limit since 2014 on the Ideas Exchange section of Spotify's Community website, which invites users to make suggestions every month.

Spotify boasts a catalog of more than 50 million songs available to stream. But users have only been able to add a maximum of 10,000 songs to their libraries — until now. The streaming service has finally removed the 10,000-song cap, allowing users to “like” an unlimited number of songs on the platform. Users have been complaining about the limit since 2014 on the Ideas Exchange section of Spotify’s Community website, which invites users to make suggestions every month. Yesterday (May 26), Spotify officially marked the six-year-old suggestion as “implemented.” “We’re excited to be marking this idea as implemented!” the post reads. “We’ve now removed the limit on saved items in Your Library, making it possible to save songs, and albums on Spotify to your heart’s content.” However, the switch does not affect similar limits for offline listening and playlists. Spotify users can to download a maximum of 10,000 songs on five different devices for offline listening, and all playlists are capped at 10,000 songs.
