Your desk, no matter how clean it looks, is literally swarming with germs.
According to a study conducted at the University of Arizona, the typical workspace has 400 times more germs than an office toilet seat.
The most germ-ridden place in the office? The phone, followed by the desktop, water fountain handle, microwave oven handle and keyboard.
Ewwww

I did know about that, but I like to be in denial about it. Now I'm looking at my keyboard and getting all grossed out!

Ewww! Thats gross! My health teacher told us that the worst thing to touch is the handle to a shopping cart. Imagine how infested that is! Especially with babies touching it once they had their fingers in their mouths.

We have Kroger's grocery store right near us, that's my usual place to shop...they have sanitizing wipes handy when you walk in to wipe the handle. We always use them!

Thats awesome! I would love to have our shopping markets do that. We go to Acme and Shop Rite. I've never heard of Kroger's.

That's disgusting! My science class did an experiment at our school, with agar plates, and found that the rails seperating the windows where you can buy food, is the most germiest place at our school. That really shows you should watch your hands, lol.

Another really bad place for germs... the bottom of a purse. Think about this... it is put on top of cars, on floors, on the ground, public bathroom floors if there's no hook to hang it on (GROSS), etc.
I have bleach wipes in the car, at work, almost every room at home, and at my PC desk. My desk is wiped down almost daily.
Germs are bad mmmmm k?
