Wash your hands before you go to toilet

I read yesterday an article (AWSJ, April 16, 2004), that basically states that one needs to wash hands BEFORE using the toilet if you work on a computer.

This is because the area surrounding a desktop has 400 times as much bacteria per square inch as the toilet seat. The keyboard and the mouse about 67 times and 34 times respectively. All because we eat so much when we work and don't clean up after us. Makes me think and shutter!
