Contaminated glassware can transfer this bacteria directly into your system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Norovirus outbreaks.<\/strong> Norovirus, commonly linked to poor hygiene in food and drink establishments, can survive on surfaces like unclean glasses and cause severe nausea and dehydration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Fungal or mould exposure.<\/strong> If a pub\u2019s glasswashing system isn\u2019t maintained properly, mold spores and fungal growth can appear in the crevices of glassware, leading to respiratory issues and allergic reactions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Dr Peterson warns that even a single contaminated glass can transfer harmful bacteria, particularly in busy bars where glassware is quickly rinsed rather than thoroughly cleaned.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_you_should_do_if_you_spot_dirty_glasses\"><\/span><span class=\"penci-toc-section\" id=\"What-you-should-do-if-you-spot-dirty-glasses\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">What you should do if you spot dirty glasses<\/span><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Experts say that if you notice any signs of unclean glassware, you should leave immediately or, at the very least, refuse the drink and request a fresh glass.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Check the glass before drinking.<\/strong> Hold it up to the light and look for any streaks, marks, or cloudy patches.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Smell the rim.<\/strong> A musty or stale odor could indicate the glass hasn\u2019t been cleaned properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Watch how glasses are cleaned. If staff are rinsing glasses in standing water or using a cloth to \u201cwipe them down,\u201d hygiene standards may be questionable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Avoid ice in your drink.<\/strong> Ice machines in bars can also harbor bacteria if not cleaned regularly.
