- brandon272 11y agoI fly frequently and I always get sick, even though I'm fairly religious with hand sanitizer and what not. I'm not sure what I do wrong.
- tspiteri 11y agoMaybe it's not just because you are more exposed to germs on the plane. One possibility is that air on planes is quite dry, and you are not drinking enough, which would stress your system. Or there can be a combination of conditions that get you sick.
- brandon272 11y agoOr the airport bathrooms. Which are more often than not kind of filthy and do not have a process for washing and drying your hands w/ paper towels that is completely touch-free.
- smeyer 11y ago>do not have a process for washing and drying your hands w/ paper towels that is completely touch-free This is different from my personal experiences. In the last few years, I've dried my hands with a touch-free system in the vast majority of airport bathrooms I've used. I've found airport bathrooms to be touch-free at a much higher rate than public restrooms in general.
- azakai 11y agoAlso, the first airline to do this will get great PR, for very little cost. I know I would pick an airline that installs this.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoThat may have less to do with airborne illness and more to do with dry air, reduced air pressure, and consequent irritation.
