This Common Surface Has 5 TIMES More Germs Than A Toilet Seat And You’ve Touched It A Million Times Today

This infographic from Quill.com and Ghergich & Co. reveals how many nasty germs and bacteria are hanging out on your computer keyboard. It’s disgusting. So disgusting, I might not work the rest of the day, I might spend it hosing down my desk and computer with a combination of rubbing alcohol and fire.

According to the graphic, more than 3,000 organisms live on your computer keyboard PER SQUARE INCH. There’s more bacteria on your laptop than on a toilet, which makes sense, considering you’re constantly bringing it in the shitter. Women tended to have a more disgusting computer surface than men and some of the bacteria can cause infections if you’ve got cuts on your hands.

That’s it, I’m blowtorching this whole office.
