Of course, there are hotbeds of germs and viruses across the country, but some of these germs are hiding where you least expect it. Eighty percent of infections are spread through hand contact. Then wash, people, and get ready to pay a little germ warfare of your choice.

Researchers at the University of Arizona has recently revealed that 50 percent of the vacuum brushes they tested contained fecal bacteria, including 13 percent E. coli, and all were packing mold. Vacuuming can transfer germs from contaminated surfaces to uncontaminated ones (think kitchen to living room).

To reduce the risk of spraying the brush with a disinfectant after every use - traces of bacteria can survive as long as 5 days in vacuum after you empty the dust. And vacuum bag disposable promote more bacterial growth, according to the study, in order to buy the bagless variety.

Like wise, 2004, a Japanese study found that staph bacteria bind strongly to polyester, which is used in many gloves. And yes, that includes MRSA bacteria, which lurk wherever jocks gather. You enter the bar, grunt a weight, wipe your eyes, nose or mouth, and bacteria are in.

Your cart, that is.

Never seen anyone wash a menu? We do not think so. A recent study in the Journal of Medical Virology reports that cold and flu viruses can survive for 18 hours on hard surfaces. If it is a people's commune, hundreds of people could pass their germs to you.

Never let the menu touch your plate or silverware as you ponder the wine list, and wash your hands after your order. But how to escape the bathroom without touching the door handle? Palm a spare paper towel after you wash, then use it to retrieve the handle. Run this thing well and nobody needs to know how much you fear germs.

Now consider the germs on planes. Flight attendants are exposed to dozens of sniffling and coughing passengers and the surfaces they touch. When workers need a pee break, they head in the same latrine you use. Now consider that when Charles Gerba, Ph.D., co-author of Germ Freak's Guide to thwart colds and flu, tested commercial jet bath, he noticed that the surfaces of faucets handles gate have been contaminated with E. coli.

Given all that exposure of the germ, it is not surprising that the Journal of Environmental Health Research has recently revealed that you are 100 times more likely to catch colds in flight and on ground.

The best solution is to pack a pill of green tea. In a University of Florida's 2007 study, people who took a supplement of 450 mg of green tea twice a day for three months has been a third day less of symptoms of colds.
