Agreed. I was searching for a legitimate answer to reply with and instead I wanted to go poop instead.

Resolved Question
Why keyboard may cause serious injury?
once i was looking at my keyboard. i noticed a warning written on the back. it was warning about a serious injuries that may happen to hands, wrists, arms, neck or back.
The use of any keyboard may cause serious injury (that is, carpal tunnel syndrome or other repetitive strain injury) to hands, wrists, arms, neck or back. The risks of injuries can be reduced by taking frequent short breaks to get up and walk around a couple of times every hour. As well, users should vary tasks throughout the day, to avoid overuse of the hands and wrists. When inputting at the keyboard, a person should keep the shoulders relaxed with the elbows at the side, with the keyboard and mouse positioned so that reaching is not necessary. The chair height and keyboard tray should be adjusted so that the wrists are straight, and the wrists should not be rested on sharp table edges. Wrist or palm rests should not be used while typing.
Some Adaptive technology ranging from special keyboards, mouse replacements and pen tablet interfaces to speech recognition software can reduce the risk of injury. Pause software reminds the user to pause frequently. Switching to a much more ergonomic mouse, such as a vertical mouse or joystick mouse may provide relief. Switching from using a mouse to using a stylus pen with graphic tablet or a trackpad such as a Smart Cat trackpad can lessen the repetitive strain on the arms and hands.

I know, but everyone keeps getting on my back about it every time i wash my hands before lunch or dinner. They're giving the strong impression that it's a bad habit i should get rid of. So i'd like to know if there's some truth to it at all. :-\

Well since most people are idiots about these kinds of things i think you can safely assume until some sort of scientific proof or idea comes to mind you can assume they are full of shit. Or just ask them to give you a logical reason why it's a bad idea to do that. If they can't just disregard it. That's how i am with myths.
