 PLANE DIRTY, AND GROSS

LOTS of germs were found breeding on airplanes.

Researchers found 3000 bacteria on one plate.

The seat tray had Klebsiella, which is a stringy mucus-like bacteria.

But the most disgusting stuff came from inside the seat pocket. There was Enterobacter asburiae in there, which are bacteria associated with the human gut!

Doctors warn travelers to use hand sanitizer and avoid the bathrooms on planes.

In the last six years, researchers have collected more than 100-samples and found viruses like influenza, MRSA, and diarrhea.
