Break out the hand sanitizer! A recent study conducted by the University of Arizona in a K-12 school system found that the germiest place at school is the cafeteria table. Researchers swabbed classrooms and common area surfaces to determine the relative numbers of total bacteria and on frequently touched. In addition to the cafeteria table, the most contaminated sites include:
· The computer mouse, which harbored nearly twice as many bacteria as desktops
· The bathroom paper towel handle
· Water fountain
· Bathroom sink faucets
· Library table
· Computer keyboard
