What Germs Lurk Inside Your Keyboard?
I was at the clinic this afternoon and while waiting for the doctor I grabbed one of the magazines lying on the table then flipping through the pages till I came across an interesting article.
“Women’s Hands Home to More Types of Germs”
According to the article our average office has hundreds of times more bacteria than a toilet seat. The lift button on our lift machine is probably a rank stew of vile bacteria. And here’s a controversial bit –women spread more germs in the workplace than men with women’s hands have a veritable of germs compared to men’s, a new study finds.
Furthermore women had more germ diversity than men, possibly due to different acidities on the hands, different hand-washing regimens, differential production of sweat, variable hormones and how often moisturizers or cosmetics are applied.
In general, hand washing did not seem to affect the diversity of bacteria (though it’s still a good practice, the researchers stressed). Either the bacteria come back quickly after hand washing or hand washing just doesn’t dislodge bacteria, they said.
P/s: That computer mouse, keyboard, toilet door knob, lift button, the “enter” and “send” buttons on fax machines carry some of the highest concentrations of harmful microbes.
Pss:”Eeee yikess..najis..najis…”.Guess who like to say that ?
