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 Matawele 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.'
Unsuspecting diners choose their food on the touchscreens then head to the server to pick up their burgers more often than not without washing their hands.
A screen at one branch was found to have staphylococcus, a bacteria that can cause blood poisoning and toxic shock syndrome.
A McDonald’s spokesman said: ‘Our self-order screens are cleaned frequently throughout the day. All of our restaurants also provide facilities for customers to wash their hands before eating.’

Put up a game camera. I use them here in Montana to find out what animals are crapping in my back yard. I then shoot the big ones, cut them up, and eat them.
I don’t recommend this, the eating part, for your situation. But the shooting part would be ... well, lets just say, satisfying.
Hopefully they’ll find who put it there on every screen!
Patent it. Then you can tell the world what it is, maybe get a buyer or sell a license. Hinting at its awesomeness won’t get that done.

And those facilities are where the poo is made.
I think we’d all be shocked at how prevalent molecules of poo are in our everyday world. But stories like this make great shock
We just need to stop being dirt/germaphobes. The Greatest Generation would be ashamed of us.
This is silly. Anything that is touched by multiple people throughout the day will have fecal matter on it. You can either carry a bottle of hand sanitizer everywhere you go or not worry about it. I do the later.
So what religious group has a history of wiping their ass with their left hand?
Maybe every surface in the entire mcdonalds is covered in gut and poo bacteria.
Insert joke about Chinese restaurant or taco stand and missing pets....
“Would you like Staph with that?”
OH NO. That is TERRIBLE. Do you think you have “homeless” types hanging out in the alley? Is the garage connected to your home?
Nope

Indeed they would. Nothing would bother my Dad. I remember him washing his hands with gasoline - where I put on little disposable gloves every time I fill up my car. Then again, he spent three months on Okinawa in WW2.
I’m on record as saying I hate those nasty things and refuse to use them.
When I walk into McDonald’s my hands are clean... and I keep them that way.
I also insist my drink comes from behind the counter because kids are all over those self serve drink stations.
Almost everything you touch throughout the day has poo on it. People don’t wash their hands.
When working in retail, I've seen and discovered that non-citizen Hispanics will leave their young child's poopy diapers on merchandise shelved among the merchandise. They find this acceptable and normal. They have some weird aversion to flushing toilet paper and just deposit it on the floor around the toilet fixtures.
Go visit border town Laredo, TX sometimes. You almost need a HAZMAT suit.
FOX and Friends a bit ago was saying Romaine lettuce now safe to eat. They had Dr. Whatshisname on who just couldn’t bring himself to admit it was illegals wiping their butts on gringo produce and blamed the ban on everything else under the sun.
We’ve learned nothing from the Golgafrinchans.
Unfortunately, making you stronger may entail several days hospital stay, a month of convalescence, a huge medical bill and an extended time of misery.
