This survey was conducted from 10 offices in Tucson, Arizona, New York, San Francisco, and collected 450 categorized samples, such as chairs, desktop PCs, phones, and mice, by location. As a result, over 500 kinds of bacteria were found.

Moreover, in this survey, "Some places with men are more bacteria than places where females are present", some researchers cited two reasons for this. One is that men are more body and larger in size than females, so that there are many parts to become beds of bacteria. And another reason is that men are more dirty than women as we have been told in previous studies. That is because men do not wash their hands and do not brush their teeth often.

Many viruses spread by touching the surface of objects and then touching the face, other tools, others, etc. Therefore, it is important to wash hands and dry them many times a day in order to prevent the disease, but on the other hand, excessive bacteria removal may lower human immunity and cause allergies, so moderate It is important to keep cleanlinessUniversity of ArizonaProfessor Charles Gerba concludes.
