This is a wake up call for those who bite their nails, and a couple of other nasty habits.
Wait till I show my son, but I'm sick of telling him to stop biting his fingers. He's got no nails.

1,303,260 lol
equivalent of 261 toilet seats

There are about 1,348,200 germs on your keyboard right now!
That's equivalent to the number of germs on 270 toilet seats.

Lawl, apart from the fact that the types of germs on my keyboard and toilet seats are mostly different and that I'm the only one using my keyboard as opposed to those 270 seats and thus those keyboard germs are mine, the comparison is perfectly justified. I wonder how many toilet seats worth my cellphone is.... I don't rightly remember ever cleaning it.
btw, how do you guys clean your keyboards? I usually take apart everything, stick all plastic bits in bleach and hot water and scrub the crap out of it. It always comes out white and new looking

lol I do that as well

I wish my nails weren't so tasty otherwise I would stop biting them... haha

@Tick

I just use a damp cloth or something like that, nothing fancy. I'll think twice now though after getting my results

Please take some time to clean your keyboard guys. Most of us don't pay attention to this. But according to me its a real health hazard. I don't even remember the last time i cleaned my keyboard(Probably because i had never cleaned it ).looks like its better to buy a new one

Take care of your health
