Are germs on planes really as bad as people think they are? Kim Horcher and Christina Ochoa break down the truth behind germs on a plane. Let us know your stories dealing with germy people at the airport in the comments below!
“Airplanes have a bad rep for being disease incubators. Passengers have been advised to pick window seats and turn on their overhead air vent to avoid catching germs, while some even wear surgical masks during flights. But planes aren’t necessarily more germ-ridden as other places we spend our time, according to a recent study. After sampling airplane air and swabbing seat trays, belt buckles and bathroom door handles on 10 different transcontinental flights, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University found that the planes’ “microbiomes” — environmental sets of bacteria — weren’t all that different from the microbiomes in offices and home environments overall. In other words, planes aren’t necessarily more rampant with germs than other places we often visit.”
