Beware the co-worker with knowledge of dangerous bacteria.

A United States woman is now in the running for the title of world’s worst colleague after pleading guilty to spreading faeces across a work-mates’s equipment.

The Winchester Star reports Andrea Joy Edwards was so angry with her colleague she took the extreme action of covering her workstation at a Virgina lab in excrement.

Both the computer mouse and the desk chair became tools of vengeance.


But this was no ordinary faeces – Edwards chose a special concoction taken from a patient she had tested in the lab because she knew it contained a bacteria linked to infection, diarrhea, stomach pain and even death.

Edwards, 31, plead guilty to the crime in the Winchester City Circuit Court this week.

She was sentenced to two years but with time suspended, meaning she will not serve any jail time.

Instead she will spend the next 12 months on supervised probation.
