Swabs taken in a London office found dangerous bacteria including e.coli and coliforms – both a common cause of food poisoning – lurking in computer keyboards.

The tests also detected staphylococcus aureus, a common bacteria which causes a range of infections from boils and impetigo to toxic shock and pneumonia.

This family of bacteria also includes the lethal hospital bugs MRSA and MSSA – forms of staphylococcus which have mutated to become resistant to antibiotics.

This is in England after all. They don't wash like we do... JK. Ok, so yeah my keyboard is nasty too but that because I am too lazy to clean it. I dragged a vacuum across it and only some dust came up. A DAMP with alcohol cloth. Maybe a cheap microfiber one. Oh by the way 70% polyester 30% polyamide. There is a reason why 100% polyester ones go for 12 for $11.99.
