"Unveiling the Germiest Spots on a Plane: Our Test Results"

A recent experiment conducted on an airplane found that high-touch points in the main cabin and lavatories were teeming with germs, with a germ-detection device indicating a "fail" for nine out of ten tested areas. While airlines have their own sanitation procedures, there are no federal regulations or standardized cleaning protocols in place. Experts recommend practicing good hand hygiene, using hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes, and wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection while traveling. The dirtiest spots on the plane were found to be the lavatory sink handle and tray table, emphasizing the importance of maintaining cleanliness and taking precautions during air travel.
