Being that we all work in a public computer lab that features dozens of people coming in and out all day, I figured this article would be appreciated for the blog. If you don't have a bottle of hand sanitizer with you at the lab, this article give you some incentive.

Here's a sample:
"Computer keyboards can harbour more harmful bacteria than a lavatory seat, it has been claimed.
Many users are at risk of becoming ill with stomach bugs, according to the consumer group Which?

It warned that 'qwerty tummy', named after the first six letters on a keyboard, could sweep through workplaces after tests on equipment in its own London offices showed alarming results.

One keyboard was so dirty that a microbiologist ordered it to be removed, quarantined and cleaned.

It had 150 times the acceptable limit for bacteria and was five times as filthy as a typical lavatory seat."
