If you’ve got some medical and biological questions you’ve always wondered about — like if it’s possible to catch a disease from a toilet seat — then New York physician Billy Goldberg and humorist Mark Leyner have some answers for you in their book, “Why Do Men Have Nipples?”
During the course of their research, Goldberg and Leyner found reports of gonorrhea, pinworm and roundworm found on toilet seats — but catching something from it isn’t common.
The authors discovered that an office setting might be worse for your health than toilet seats. Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, found the typical office desk harbors some 400 times more disease-causing bacteria than the average toilet seat.
Sounds like we should stop rotating the interns to several different computer keyboards on a daily basis.
