Scientists stumbled upon a common item with a surprising attribute. This ubiquitous thing has

• five times as much bacteria as a toilet seat
• food poisoning bugs such as
  
  • e.coli
  • coliforms
  • staphylococcus auereus
  • enterobacteria

Excessive contact with this device exposes one to

• 150 times the acceptable limit of bacteria
• 4 of the pathogens are considered to be are 'potential' health hazards
• 1 of those bacteria was 'condemned' [ I have no idea what that means ]

Scientists stated that users are 'at high risk of becoming ill from contact.' The least dangerous of the resulting illnesses is lovingly referred to as "QWERTY Tummy.' What is this evil thing? It's right there at your fingertips: your computer's keyboard. Keyboards are infested because

• we eat over them, with food deposits encouraging the growth of millions of bacteria
• we don't wash our hands before using our keyboards
• during cold and allergy season we, well, you know....
• some of us never clean those keyboards

I guess it's some kind of computer virus." [ Sorry, I couldn't resist ]

More things you shouldn't touch . File them under "ew-wwww"
