The average toilet seat has 40 germs per square inch. A keyboard as
4,000. A telephone has 25,000. Some viruses that cause colds can
survive 72 hours on a surface.
I think the danger from bathrooms is food handlers who do not wash their
hands. Phones and desktop stuff are exposed to hands and coughing.
Janitors aren't asked to sanitize them because they do not look dirty.
Pennies tend to be sterile because of the copper. Coins in general are
pretty clean because several metals kill germs. Dollar bills are the
dirtiest because they pass through so many hands, but the germs are
generally harmless. For example, lots of people have stapholococcus
aureus, which is dangerous, in their nose, but it seems not to survive
on money. One reason is that most hands have lots of stapholococcus
epidermidis, and it protects us from s. aureus. You should never clean
under your nails because that's where the protective bacteria lie in
wait. If you see your surgeon washing his hands, fire him.
