Well I guess it depends on people

But I know that in a period when I was writing my thesis and eating while typing, my keys were a bit sticky...

you touch a door lock with your hand...not with your finger. and you touch it for some seconds...not for 30 min or some hours
, you press each key of the keyboard...
as you guys saying

i guess scientists said it not guys... :wink:

Sure, that's true. For, if we think of that, we wash our toiletseat more often than our keyboard.

Doors are like that too. There are, in our life some bacterias nests that we don't think to wash because it seems clean, or at least, not so dirty...

And in all a day, our hands are in contact 100% more bacterias and microbs than the rest of our body !

As long as I know someone sick has touched my keyboard, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Also think about a remote controller. I always hold that in my hand. :)
