Stay to the end to see what I packed in my carry on bag. Here are the 6 most germy places in the airport or airplane. 1. The touch screen at self checkout. When tested touch screens had the largest collection of bacteria most likely to make you sick. What to do? Bring hand sanitizer and use it immediately after you check in. Or go directly to an airport bathroom and wash your hands. Speaking of bathrooms... 2. The flush button in the plane's bathroom. 3. Armrests And not just on the armrests at the gate...wipe down the armrests on the plane too.) 4. The drinking fountain button. Bonus - staying hydrated can help keep you from getting sick. 5. The tray table A 2015 study found that airplane tray tables had the most bacteria of any surface in the cabin. https://www.livescience.com/45734-airplane-germs-mrsa-ecoli.html 6. The seat back pocket. A similar study in 2014 found that inside the seat back pocket was a breeding ground for germs, too. People store dirty diapers and all sorts of nasty stuff gets stowed away in these pockets. Either don't put anything in there or pull out your antibacterial wipes and give it a clean before you put your ipad in there. 7. Your seatbelt buckle. Other places to be aware of: cash registers at shops, staircase or escalator railings, and counters where people check in. While the most common virus may be rhinovirus which causes the common cold, no one wants to get sick on their trip. If you’ve flown recently, what did you do to stay healthy?
