It's unwise to eat or drink near a computer. After all, accidents can happen - and the cost of remedying any damage could be very costly!

Eating near a computer can cause a roach or rodent infestation. Cockroaches can cause extensive damage inside a computer. Rats and mice can damage your cables and the exterior of your computer.

Also, there is a risk of spreading disease. If you eat and then use a computer, you may transfer food residue to the computer keyboard. The food residue can gather bacteria and fungi which gets transferred to your hands during subsequent use of the computer. If microbes enter your mouth, you could develop food poisoning symptoms. Or the microbes can lead to fungal infections of the hands, acne, and even jock itch (from using the toilet with dirty hands).

Should you have drinks next to a computer?

For your computer's safety and well being, you should probably avoid keeping drinks and other liquids away from your computer. It's too easy to knock them over onto your keyboard, mouse or other equipment. It depends how your computer desk is set up, of course - and how big of a klutz you tend to be.
