Found this article quite funny, found it on the web, what do you think? Is your Desk a health hazard or do you 'empty' your keyboard from all those crumbs?

BBC Article



Just for a little taste of the small article:

Should somebody have a cold in your office, or even have gastroenteritis, you're very likely to pick it up from a keyboard

They also found that, compared to men, on average women have three to four times the amount of germs in, on and around their work area.
