Chronic Cold Hand Sign of Overworked Mouse Hand

There's much talk on the Internet these days about a cold mouse hand. It's a chronic condition, there's little medical knowledge about it, and there are products available to help relieve the cold hand pain. For many years, I sat at a computer formatting images in Photoshop. I owned and operated an ecommerce site and was too busy to actually do something to address the real problem. There were deadlines to meet, work to be completed, and frankly, suffering with the pain of a cold hand was not my top priority. Click Here to continue reading.....

Oprah please ask Doctor Oz to help solve the mouse hand problem

Dear Oprah & Doctor Oz.... help us solve the cold mouse hand problem!

Searching for an answer to define the "cold mouse hand" syndrome, Oprah and Doctor Oz were sent an online letter. We haven't heard back from them, and if/when we do, you'll read about it here.

Here's what we wrote:

Many people may not be aware of a condition called "Cold Mouse Hand." It affects computer users who work using a computer mouse. It's not carpal tunnel and shouldn't be confused with other mouse hand medical conditions. I believe the "cold mouse hand" problem is a fairly new discovery.

I started using a computer in the early 90's, and I owned and operated an ecommerce site for over 12 years. My work required me to sit in front of a computer using the mouse. A/C offices, fans, drafts and chilly weather would cause my mouse hand to get so cold my finger tips would become numb. The only relief to the cold mouse hand was to stop working, and that was not an option. I tried pulling a sweater over my mouse hand and wear fingerless gloves to keep it warm and that didn't work. I bought computer gadgets that promised to keep the mouse hand warm, and they were either non-ergonomic, caused pain, or were too small.

In February 2007, after suffering from a cold mouse hand for many years, I decided to obtain a provisional patent for a "Mouse House Hand Warmer" to address and fix the problem. But, I was still too busy operating my business to do anything with the patent.

In May 2008, I sold my ecommerce site and decided to research the cold mouse hand problem to focus on a solution. I was surprised to discover the problem was experienced by many people.

In June 2008, I made a Mouse Hand Warmer using blanket fabric, tested the prototype, and it worked. The Mouse Hand Warmer was born! I don't suffer anymore from a cold mouse hand.

If Doctor Oz finds the mouse hand syndrome, not carpal tunnel, but the "cold mouse hand" problem, an interesting, new topic, please ask him to shed some light on this mysterious computer geeks' situation. If you look for little inventions to address new problems, I will participate by sharing the problem and the solution with your audience. I hope you find this story and it's solution unique and worthy of a discussion topic.

Keeping Warm In Winter

Does your mouse hand get cold?

By David Collins

As the weather turns colder and more depressing, many in the UK will be feeling the chill. As the temperature drops we find ourselves reaching for the electric blankets and woolly jumpers to try and keep warm throughout the cold days and nights. With gas and electricity prices fluctuating throughout the year, there is uncertainty as to the price of their supplies, but there are a few simple steps you can take to help you stay warm and cut the cost of your energy bills.


Insulate your home through draught proofing and attic insulation to help reduce heat loss. Grants from your gas and electric supplier can be available in certain circumstances. Grants are also available for installing efficient and modern heating methods, and some providers offer year-round boiler service for a fixed fee.

Try and keep the temperature of the main rooms of your property at around 21°C during the day, as well as ensuring that you keep your water system at a warm temperature in order to prevent pipes freezing.

Make sure you wrap up warm this winter, both inside and outside - ensuring you have a good quality coat, hat, gloves and scarf for when you have to venture into the cold. If you use an electric blanket during the night for extra warmth, be sure that it's been tested for safety purposes, and you should never use a hot water bottle at the same time.

Ensure you eat well throughout the winter months, try and have regular hot meals and drinks throughout the day to help provide your body with fuel to help keep warm.

Do your best to exercise at least once an hour in order to keep warm. If you have a regular exercise routine, you should try and stick to it during the winter months.

Have your heating system serviced annually to reduce the risk of breakages during the worst of the cold weather. Some gas and electric providers offer free safety checks, while grants are available for the over 60's to help towards winter energy bills.

Try not to leave electrical appliances, such as televisions and stereos, on standby mode during the night, you could save yourself money on your electric bill through simply switching appliances off properly.

Keeping your cold hand warm this winter

It's like a house for your mouse, and it's really a blanket for your cold mouse hand. The Mouse Hand Warmer was created to keep your mouse hand coverd by a warm fleece blanket. Any standard sized mouse pad and mouse fits nicely inside the Mouse Hand Warmer with plenty of room to move about.

One of the most difficult things to deal with is a cold mouse hand. This winter, keep your mouse hand covered inside a non-slip surfaced Mouse Hand Warmer. Click here for more details.

How to clean a mouse ball

from The Joker Blog

1. Remove the plate that retains the ball. Just twist it in the direction of the arrow.

2. Remove the mouse ball.

3. Keep it dust-free. The enemy of the mouse is dust. Over time, dust and lint spin into fairly solid strings that eventually gum up the mouse motion. Some mice use more spring-loading ticks than others to keep the rollers in contact with the ball, so keep an eye to see if any springs are popping out. In most cases, mice are built to be very rugged and there's nothing to hurt during a cleaning. The cup shape in the center is just to help position the ball in the mouse.


That little wheel, along with other similar wheels inside, need cleaning

4. Typically you don't need to clean the mouse ball, only the little wheels you see inside. Usually a paperclip will do, but if it's really dirty you can use a knife. Or, you can moisten the tip of a Q-tip (cotton swab) with rubbing alcohol to clean off the dirt. Use tweezers to remove any strands of hair near the wheel rollers. If there appears to be gunk on the ball, a rag and a little rubbing alcohol will take it right off.

Put it back together. After you're done, put the mouse ball back and lock it.

Tale of a mouse hand warmer a true story

This is a true story. There once was a gal. She worked very hard sitting at the computer day and night. It didn't matter how long it took her, she sat and worked all-day and through the night if needed. She was very committed to her work, and nothing would stop her from getting her work finished.

During the summer months, the air conditioning in her office made her mouse hand cold. She used an ergonomic mouse and held it in her hand many hours everday. When she walked passed her fellow worker, she'd say, "Feel my hand. It's freezing." My mouse hand is feels so cold, it's numb. We all were surprised how this beautiful girl could have such a cold mouse hand. We tried lowering the air conditioning, but that didn't help. The rest of the office would become too warm. We tried wearing gloves to get the hand warmer, but that didn't work because the mouse buttons were too sensitive to be used wearing a leather glove. We tried half-gloves, and that didn't work either.

Pulling a sweater sleeve over the mouse hand was a short success. The hand stayed covered for about ten seconds and then the sweater's sleeve would slowly slide backwards off the hand. There was no solution to keep the mouse hand warm. The only solution was to stop working and that was not an option.

We tried mouse hand warmers, but the mouse pad didn't work well with the mouse we had. And, the USB connection and cords were always getting tangled on our desk. We tried a warming mouse, and that was a waste of money, too. The mouse was not ergonomic and couldn't be used for long periods of time. We thought our cold mouse hand problem was never going to get solved.

Finally, we found a hand warmer blanket made and designed specifically for the mouse hand. It's called the Mouse Hand Warmer. The Mouse Hand Warmer is a fleece blanket designed similar to a small pouch or case to slide all your equipment - mouse pad and mouse -- into when you work. Now, this worked.

Today, everyone in our office has a Mouse Hand Warmer on their desk. See the photos above. We use the Mouse Hand Warmer during the summer when the air conditioning causes a cold draft and during the winter when there's a natural chill in the air.

Can Something This Simple Keep You From Getting Sick?

Don't chill. Stay warm. If your mouse hand gets cold, click here.

By Page Remick

Studies show that more women than men wash their hands after using the bathroom: public or private. Do you wash your hands after sneezing or blowing your nose? After you have been in public places all day or touched and animal, do you ever wash your hands?

Simply put, washing your hands thoroughly and often can keep you from getting viruses, bacteria and fungus which lead to temperatures, diarrhea, intestinal or urinary tract infections, colds, flu, and many more serious diseases. It’s not the water temperature that matters: it’s the frequency and the duration of washing. Wash your hands often in any temperature of water for at least 15 seconds and use enough soap to lather well. At every washing, get soap under each fingernail and get lodged bacteria out… and down the drain. You wouldn’t believe how many germs hide under your fingernails!

Did you just shake hands with someone who has a cold, or did you unknowingly put your hands on cold or flu germs on a doorknob or shopping cart handle? Before you touch your eyes, nose, mouth, or even ears (all entry points into the body for germs), be sure and wash your hands well, or at the very least, use a hand sanitizer. Avoid the alcohol variety of hand sanitizer found on the grocery store shelves as they have been found to enter the body and kill the single-cell bacteria that are in our digestive systems, the ones that keep our immune system strong enough to ward off disease.

Did you hear about the recent dangerous e coli outbreak on spinach? If you leave a bathroom or change a diaper without washing, you have e coli on your hands! Do you ever touch the bathroom door in a public restroom without first putting a paper towel on it for protection? Even if you just washed your hands… think of all the germs that are on the handle from the people who DIDN’T wash their hands!

It is such a simple way to prevent the spread of infection yet most people don't do it! Wash your hands after every restroom visit, after every bout of sneezing, after changing a diaper, touching a pet, after blowing your nose, before eating or preparing food, after being in public and after shaking hands wit anyone, sick or not! It's simple, preventative..and it's been proven to keep you healthy!
