So if I poop on my hands it will be cleaner than my keyboard? I'll have to trust the link on that one.

I never disinfect my keyboard but before I had my laptop I would flip the keyboard over and smack it once in a while, I'm kind of afraid to do that to my laptop.

I lick mine saliva is a good solvent!! We live in a too clean world as it is, Most peoples immune systems are so unable to fight an infection either it over reacts to the slightest germ or doesn't do enough fast enough. Doctors are not helping the issue by over prescribing antibiotics, Instead of actually doing tests to discover the cause of the sickness. That is why there are superbugs(read up about MRSA or XDRTB) Stop using that hand sanitizer after every contact with the outside world, Let your children play in the dirt and eat their boogers!! Thats why allergies are on the rise because over cleanliness, Let them be kids and just throw some peroxide on the cut no band aid and send them back out in the yard. A good Idea in a public restroom though, Is to wash your hands of course, but use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and open the door(doctors use this protocol) If someone got crap on their hands and turns on the water, You turn off the water with clean hands picking up feces, So kind of a nice thought, NOT!! May as well not wash your hands.

Got to keep the immune system tuned up somehow.

If that estimate is at least somewhat accurate, it's amusing.

I think I've got bigger problems than keyboard germs.

369 for me.

I actually agree with Blue Beast on this one. People are way too worried about germs and now we're paying the price. Websites like the one in the OP just scare people more.

302 for me. I don't think this 'quiz' something to take seriously...just something for fun. I'm the only one who uses my computer, and it's maybe 3-4 times a week. Oh well...getting sick while young is good though. Helps build up immunities so you will be stronger when older.

There are about 3,145,800 germs on your keyboard right now!
That's equivalent to the number of germs on 629 toilet seats.
