Recent studies have shown that your keyboard is probably harboring more germs and bacteria than your toilet seat. This actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Most of us probably do everything from eating to blowing our nose without ever washing our hands before we start typing away.

There is no need to become a ‘germaphobe’ over this, just take regular precautions such as wiping down your keyboard with a wet wipe (the alcohol variety such as baby wipes should be fine) and washing your hands before eating (if you don’t do this already).

This study isn’t to scare you, just make you more aware of what you are literally touching right now.
