10 Things In Your Office That Are Germ Ridden
We all do it, use our desk space as a second home. Who can blame us as we spend a lot of time at work!
This however does not help the fact that there is at least ten items we touch daily at work that are completely germ ridden.
1. Your headset
A horrible thought that something you have literally on your head for hours is harbouring germs. Not to mention the microphone you speak into being so close to your mouth.
2. Office telephone
The office telephone, the one thing everyone would prefer to avoid, but that's not normally down to the germs.
3. Your desk
Yes, that thing you work at every day, put your drink or food on and sometimes even eat at. It would give you nightmares to know how many germs you could be eating alongside your sandwiches.
4. Keyboard
One of the most obvious, the keyboard, the items you actually cannot avoid touching. Even if it is only you using it, you don't know what was on your hands from locking your car to opening several doors on your way into work.
5. Mouse
The mouse, another item you can't not touch throughout the day not knowing who has also used it, and what germs they have bought in...
6. Printer & copier
An item everyone in the office uses but does everyone wash their hands properly?
7. Water cooler
At this point can you even trust the people you work with? According to the Daily Mail, the water cooler is one of the biggest bacteria collecting items in the office with 2.7million germs per square inch on the average water spigot (the bit the water comes out of).
8. Office fridge
Not the office fridge! I keep my food in there, but so does everybody else. Remember that when opening the door you use the handle, which can harbour the germs.
9. Microwave
Yes the microwave too. The thing you use to heat up your meal and eat. No wonder office colds spread so quickly.
10. Soap dispenser
An innocent looking soap dispenser, the very thing you hoped would help you to clean your hands. This is an item that everyone also touches to wash their hands after using the bathroom.
