I believe it. Since 11/2001 to 03/2002, I used to be always at my desk, even taking lunch there. I used to get fever and cold every 4th day. Since April, I’ve been taking lunch in the lunch room, and also going out for 5 minutes fresh air breaks. Since then, I’ve been very healthy. Before you jump into the obvious conclusion, I *do* keep my desk very clean - in fact I wipe it every day because I can’t stand dust.
