A recent Stanford University study has found that if you put a virus on a touchscreen surface about 30% of it will make it onto the fingers of anyone who touches it. From the fingertips it is easily transferred to the eyes, mouth, nose or any other place that has an itch. Also of note is an unspecified British study cited in a Sacramento Bee article: "Mobile phones harbor 18 times more bacteria than a flush handle in a typical men's restroom." Ummm...YUCK! [Engadget]
