tically, but it soon emerged that it was the result of someone adding fluorescein to the water.
However, the culprits have still not been caught almost three weeks after the incident.

WOW-Why -ATMs dirtier than public toilets
British scientists have found that public banking machines are actually dirtier than public washrooms, containing bacteria that can cause diarrhea and other unfortunate illnesses. 'We were surprised by our results because the ATM machines were shown to be heavily contaminated with bacteria; to the same level as nearby public lavatories," Richard Hastings, a microbiologist for BioCote, which sponsored the study, told the Telegraph newspaper. "In addition, the bacteria we detected on ATMs were similar to those from the toilet, which are well-known as causes of common human illnesses." The researchers took swabs of public banking machines and then took separate swabs of nearby public washrooms. The samples were allowed to grow overnight and then compared under a microscope. The study came on the heels of a public opinion survey that asked people to list the dirtiest public places. The study compares those results with its findings from the swabs.
