Fearless man travels around Europe and licks the filthiest objects it has to offer

 FEARLESS travel show presenter Ian Wright has travelled Europe licking filthy objects to prove healthy bacteria in the gut boosts the immune system.

The Lonely Planet host was filmed sliding his tongue on a €10 note, a train’s loo flush button, a public phone in Russia and London’s Piccadilly Circus.

Before licking each object, he used a luminometer to show viewers just what he was getting in to

But the experiment threw up some surprising results.

The thought of licking a train’s flush button used by thousands of other may be utterly repellent, but there were more bad bacteria in a kitchen sink.

Ian consulted doctors and medical professionals about boosting gut bacteria

Ian spoke to doctors and medical professionals about boosting gut bacteria and about his own health.

Fortunately, nothing he licked left him with anything more than a bad taste in his mouth.

He said: “Ever since I was a kid I have been fairly carefree with my health and I’ve put all sorts of things in my mouth from soil, eating worms and muddy water.”

The only thing he turned down in the film was a filthy Russian public toilet.

His sample swab showed a luminometer count of over 4000 units – freshly washed hands should come in under 60.

Ian said: “That is close to one of the worst things I have smelled in a toilet.
“4000! There’s nothing more dirty than that! I’m not going to lick anything because it’s disgusting in there.”

I wonder if he visited Rizks' Emporium
