here is a centuries old saying in India, contaminated utensils bring poverty. Don't know about the pauper, but false utensils definitely bring disease. That's why people don't leave the dirty utensils in the sink before sleeping. However, in the cities, the tradition of sleeping only after washing utensils is breaking and the utensils used at night are being washed in the morning. In America the situation is even worse. According to a survey here, Americans keep fake dishes in the sink for an average of 2 days. Half of the people run the dishwasher only 3 times a week. That is, as long as they have utensils to eat from, they do not wash the utensils. All these contaminated utensils keep lying in the sink.

It was also revealed in a survey that in economically prosperous homes, false utensils remain lying in the sink for a long time. The survey also found that an American kept an average of 5 items in their freezer last year and never used them during the year. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 48 million people fall ill every year in the US because of contaminated food.
