“Is Your Computer Keyboard Making You Sick?”
Now that we’re at the height of cold and flu season, you might want to take a closer look at what’s living on your keyboard. A series of studies called “Germs in the Workplace,” found that the following four office surfaces had the most bacteria (in this order):
1. Your Phone
2. Your Desk
3. Your Computer Keyboard
4. Your Computer Mouse
Obviously these are items you touch all day, every day. Germs and dirt from your hands and mouth get transferred easily on to these items, and vice-versa, making them breeding grounds for harmful bacteria.
