I have hear horror stories of IT support techs getting finger tip skin flaking/peeling (fungus-like) from touching the keyboards used by the slobs who eat over their keyboard.<br><br>Once I refused to fix a system until I could get a replacement keyboard.

It's like a petri dish, but the shape of a keyboard!<br>
