You may want to bring some antibacterial wipes next time you get on a plane.
An Auburn University study found potentially deadly bacteria,
including E. coli and MRSA, can live on some airplane surfaces like seat
pockets and armrests for up to a week.
A 2007 study showed airplane tray tables from three different
airlines tested positive for MRSA, a bacteria that is antibiotic
resistant.
Experts suggest cleaning your hands before eating on a plane and wiping down the tray table.
