8. The Kitchen Blender
Although some people have unfortunate accidents involving their blender, the main problem with blenders tends to be cleanliness. Although most people are quick to give their blender a run through the dishwasher or to rinse it out in the sink, there do not appear to be many people who care to really take the entire thing apart and wash it. The gasket that stops the liquids from moving past the blade tends to get neglected and builds up junk and bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella. This can cause you to become very, very sick. Don’t get lazy. Take apart your entire blender; wash the glass, the blade, and the rubber ring. Your stomach will thank you.

When taken to excess, Tylenol causes liver damage. More than 60,000 people discover this fact far too late each and every year. Always follow the instructions on the label. If you are taking multiple products, or if you are taking prescription medications, speak with your doctor before consuming any other product, including Tylenol.
