Caught a nasty scrolled? How your office computer mouse carries THREE TIMES more germs than a toilet seat
The average computer mouse is three times dirtier than a toilet seat, according to an alarming new study.
Researchers blame the results on workers who eat at their desks, turning work stations into breeding grounds for harmful bugs and germs.
And men are far more filthy than their female counterparts - with 40 per cent more bacteria lurking in male mice.
Keyboards were the second most grubby item in the office, ahead of phones and chairs.
Initial Washroom Hygiene, which carried out the tests, said computer mice also carried twice as many bugs as a toilet flush handle.
Researchers swabbed 158 items seized from 40 desks at three office locations and compared the results with data on toilet hygiene, including 28 loo seats, obtained from other buildings.
