Office Desk Danger - Beware

Office Desk Danger

Public service announcement!

Did you see that programme last night on the BBC about how dangerous your office desk is? The reporter got some Prof over from the US to test his desk, they then compared the findings with swabs taken from the toilets at Glastonbury Festival!

His desk carried more bacteria and viruses than the toilets! Aaaarrrrgh!

Here’s some LINKS to relevant articles And HERE and here here

So when you have that sandwich this lunch time, be afraid, be very afraid and rush out for some biological agent to kill the little bastards off!

I think I'm getting a sore throat!

Oooh one more reason to turn up late to work each day. Heck, I might even stop going altogether!

We're surrounded by bacteria everyday, they're everywhere, luckily most of the little beggars are harmless to us. So this experiment didn't surprise me at all, what surprises me most is they'd made a programme out of it. And got a prof from the USA. Please. It's not rocket science to count bacteria. It's not even scary, it's everyday stuff, it only gets scary when their levels get out of hand. For instance we are all infected with salmonella, so why aren't we all ill? Oh yeah I used to be a biologist.

I used to work in the office furniture industry and there was a big scare a few years ago about the chemical content of the materials used in the manufacture of office desks, so don't breath too deeply !....Big John
