The British magazine "Which Computing?" has posted a study about bacteria population which live in the keyboards of computers home, by revealing a shoking truth: computer keyboards hid thousands of bacteria strains that live, thrive and, some of them such as Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus Aureus, trigger many deseases and are dangerous for our health.

The study has kept by the microbiologist James Francis who's analyzed about 33 keyboards in a London office, a toilet seat and a door handle of a toilet, by searching that germs which normally are present in common use tools.

With astonishment: 3 keyboards has been resulted as potentially harmful to health and one of them has been needed to a replacement, beacause bacteria concentration has excedeed over 150 the upper of bacteria, that is 5 times dirtier than a WC seat!

It should therefore not only maintain good personal hygiene, such as washing your hands after going to the bathroom, but regularly clean the computer keyboard, mouse included.
