These are the 5 most disgusting, germ-filled places on the plane

These are the 5 most disgusting, germ-filled places on the planeThese are the 5 most disgusting, germ-filled places on the planeStudy after study shows that airplanes and airports are absolute cesspools of germs. The fact that some people manage to travel and not get horribly sick is absolutely incredible. Ladders recently reported that airport kiosks have 1,475 times the amount of bacteria than your houses toilet seat but the danger doesnt stop there. Heck, you arent even on the plane yet. And according to new research, thats where the real icky germs are. In fact you are basically sitting in them for the duration of the flight.According to a new study from Canadian Broadcasting Corporations Marketplace, one of the grossest places on an airplane is that seat-back pocket. Apparently people look at that pocket as a trash can. And we arent just talking gum wrappers. Think mora like food remnants, dirty diapers and used condoms and tampons. Permission to scream now.Bacteria everywhereBu t wait, its not over yet. There is also a ton of bacteria on the headrest. Apparently both of these areas get the least amount of cleaning focus. So even if you think it looks clean, it really isnt.We dont have rags, we dont have spray on board, former WestJet employee Stphane Poirier told Marketplace. Lots of cleaners are a dangerous good so its either water from the aircraft, or a napkin. Well thats great. Apparently airplane cleaners approach cleaning with the same amount of enthusiasm I do.As for the the next three germiest places the washroom handle came in next not surprisingly. People still believe that washing their hands after using the facility is just a suggestion. This was followed by the tray table and then your seatbelt.With 2,155 microbes per square inch, the table tray is far dirtier than a typical airplane toilet seat, making it an extremely unsanitary surface to eat your food from, Microban zwischenstaatlich noted. To ensure that your tray table is fresh, use a di sinfectant wipe to clean the surface both before and after using it. We would also recommend putting something down (such as a clean tissue) to prevent contact between your food and the tray table. That cozy airplane blanket isnt too great either and those come in a sealed package. Permission to scream again.But wait it gets better. What kind of bacteria are they finding on all these places you will be putting your body on? Samples collected from various flights that were then analyzed at the University of Guelph found E. coli, mold, and yeast. And of all of these were at high enough levels to cause infections in humans. You may want to pack your hazmat suit for your next flight.
