8 Places Full of Germs II

Air baths
When Gerba proves the existence of microbes in the bathrooms of commercial aircraft, is that the surfaces of the faucets and the doors were contaminated with E. coli. No wonder, then, that you are 100 times more likely to catch a cold when you’re ‘on air’, according to a study in the Journal of Environmental Health Research. To protect yourself, try taking green tea supplements. In a 2007 study by the University of Florida, people who took a supplement of 450 milligrams of green tea twice a day for 3 months had a third fewer days of cold symptoms.
Doctor
The office of a physician is not the place to go if you’re trying to avoid germs. These tips can help limit your exposure.
1. Take your own books and magazines (and toys).
2. Save your own hand sanitizer, which must be at least 60% alcohol.
3. In the waiting room, leaving at least two seats between you and other patients to reduce their chances of infection.
