Is Your keyboard can give you food poisoning

Computer keyboards can get easily besmirched with food, dirt and germs just like other frequently touched items such as door knobs and money.

But beyond just looking grimy, a filthy keyboard might actually make you sick, so it's important to maintain some desktop hygiene.

In this article, TechNewsDaily will walk you through a proper do-it-yourself keyboard cleaning, but not before putting the fear in you of how scummy your keyboard might just be.

A U.K. consumer organization called Which? found in a 2008 study that keyboards can be up to five times dirtier than the average toilet seat.

A London office cleaning company told the RSC about a client who noticed "seeds" popping out of her keyboard when she pressed its buttons. The woman was puzzled because she did not eat bread or any other seed-containing food items at her desk.
Later, it was revealed that these seeds were mouse fecal pellets.

Food poisoning sucks but it does give you a week off whatever.

Yuck! Funny though..... This most likely won't stop us from eating while at the computer.

I suppose some Canned Duster and antibacterial wipes would be the very least to have on hand.

...... and don't forget the desktop too!
