Which is cleaner?
1) A keyboard or toilet seat?
According to this in Real Tech News.
“We don’t think twice about eating at our desks, even though the average desk has 100 times more bacteria than a kitchen table and 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet,” Gerba said. “Without cleaning, a small area on your desk or phone can sustain millions of bacteria that could potentially cause illness.”
So... then, logically that means that the kitchen table is 4 times worse that the toilet seat. Does that mean that we would be better off eating off of the toilet seat?
2) Ice water or toilet bowl water?
Actually ice machines contain more bacteria than toilet bowls?
Benito Middle School student Jasmine Roberts examined the amount of bacteria in ice served at fast food restaurants. The 12-year-old compared the ice used in the drinks with the water from toilet bowls in the same restaurants. Jasmine said she found the results startling. “I thought there might be a little bacteria in the ice, but I never expected it to be this much,” she said. “And I never thought the toilet water would be cleaner.” Her discovery: Seventy percent of the time, the ice had more bacteria than the toilet water.
Of course we know she isn't a scientists, yet something to think about. Maybe it's the cleansing effect from the tidy bowl.
Ok I'm off for some lunch and ice tea, no make that coffee... in the kitchen.
