Avoid Germs While Traveling

I recently read an article on the CNN website that suggested 5 ways to avoid germs while traveling. In particular, there were some interesting suggestions on avoiding germs on an airplane. To read the full article click here. I'm not exactly sure how long CNN archives articles, so I'll give you the take-aways here:

1. Sit toward the front of the airplane
(ventilation systems on most commercial aircraft provide better air flow in the front of the aircraft)
2. Don't drink coffee or tea on an airplane
(water in airplanes' water tanks isn't always clean)
3. Sanitize your hands after leaving an airplane bathroom
4. Wash or sanitize your hands after getting off an escalator
5. Wash or sanitize your hands after using an ATM

I guess suggestions 3-5 can be interpreted more generally as "Sanitize Your Hands" often!
