OUTTAKE #15, Tiny Co-workers

If you are extremely worried about the bacteria on your office telephone or computer, stop and think hard about where those bacteria came from. If you are the only one who uses this equipment, and you wash your hands at reasonable intervals, the bacteria are your very own and are quite unlikely to do you harm.
If you are worried about acquiring hitchhiking microbes, you might want to invest in a copper bracelet that you can roll between your hands in order to calm yourself(copper kills bacteria). But if your office equipment is visibly soiled, you can use a clean microfiber cloth just barely dampened with water to wipe down most hard plastic surfaces.
