Dirty Mouse

Internet cafe computer mice are the second most bacteria-carrying item found in public facilities, surpassing toilet doorknobs and hand straps on busses, a study showed. This was revealed by the Korean consumer protection board.

The only item found to carry more bacteria than a cafe mouse was handle on shopping carts. Many of the items tested were found to have staphylococcus aureus, bacteria that can cause infections if contact is made with a skin wound.

The best way to prevent contamination from bacteria is to do what your mom always said: Wash your hands. However, it seems that most people don't listen to their mom.
