FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda WEDNESDAY, May 23 (HealthDay News) — Office kitchens and break
rooms are germ “hotspots,” and sink and microwave handles in these areas
are the dirtiest surfaces touched by office workers on a daily basis,
according to a new study.
Researchers collected nearly 5,000 individual swabs over six months
from office buildings with more than 3,000 employees. The offices included
law firms, call centers and manufacturing, health care and insurance
companies.
High levels of germ contamination were found on 75 percent of
break-room faucet handles, 48 percent of microwave handles, 27 percent of
keyboards, 26 percent of refrigerator handles, 23 percent of water
fountain buttons and 21 percent of vending machine buttons.
The Kimberly-Clark study was conducted in consultation with Charles
Gerba, a professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

“A lot of people are aware of the risk of germs in the restroom, but
areas like break rooms have not received the same degree of attention,”
Gerba said in a Kimberly-Clark news release. “This study demonstrates that
contamination can be spread throughout the workplace when office workers
heat up lunch, make coffee or simply type on their keyboards.”
