Traces of faeces have been found on every single McDonald’s touchscreen swabbed in an investigation by metro.co.uk. Samples were taken from the new machines that have been rolled out at restaurants across the country – every one of them had coliforms. Senior lecturer in microbiology at London Metropolitan University Dr Paul Matewele said: ‘We were all surprised how much gut and faecal bacteria there was on the touchscreen machines. These cause the kind of infections that people pick up in hospitals.

Samples were taken from the new machines that have been rolled out at restaurants across the country – every one of them had coliforms. Did they swab the food bags and food that came out as well? Poo particles are probably everywhere.

I think I've heard this ("there's poop on it") about everything. Keyboards, doorknobs, kitchen sinks, toothbrushes, etc. Either it's simply not true, or it is true and it doesn't matter.

  I think it's true, but you have an immune system that makes this largely irrelevant.

Isn't this the result whenever someone investigates any surface people touch? Not everyone washes their hands, but everyone poops. The result is sadly predictable.
