A Bathroom by Gross Plane is the wrong place to do this, experts say – and you have to follow their advice

Experts POO-POO LOO plane.

Flight can feel high-tech-but under the surface, it can become pretty gross.

In fact, some experts warn that water on board planes is so controversial, they will not even wash their hands with it.

While the tables of the trays and the upper bins are known to the microbial area, is the bathroom a plane that deserves the most care.

“The toilets are regularly clear, but the door locks and gloves are not,” said Josephine Remo, a flight companion and travel blogger, said through and leisure.

Even more worrying: studies show that water tanks on board can hold harmful bacteria. A 2017 study in microbiology annals found over 50 strains of ice bacteria used in the planes.

â € œ € œ my taking from doing the research was not to drink coffee and tea. In all, Charles Plane, the author of the study and executive director of the Hunter NYC College of Food Policy Policy, told Travel and Leisure.

He also echoed the findings of his team, saying he also avoids washing his hands with water. He uses the wipe on the spot.

An ex -companion of the flight also discovered in the sun that the bathrooms on board do not have excellent ventilation.

â € u the detection of the plane is essentially a closet, with no clear air. There are no windows, and the ventilation of the air is weak, – said the nameless doctor.

“This means that every time you go to Loo, not only are you creating in the air of many others who have done their” business “in front of you (especially if you fly in a long time) [in] Air after a fried toilet.â €

They recommend wearing a mask when you enter the bathroom – or avoid it completely, if possible.

If you need to brush your teeth during the flight, it is best to use a bottle, as the expert warns that the water is not filtered and not in the best condition.

Experts suggest packaging the hand sanitizer, using disinfectant wipes and being aware of the bathroom surfaces.

“I try to avoid the bathroom if possible,” Shanina Knighton, an associate professor of nursing school Frances Payne Bolton at the Case Western Reserve University, told Travel and Leisure, “but when I should go, I am careful about what touches.

“I wouldn’t want to start the break with a stomach mistake due to unsafe water exposure,” Knighton said.
