You would expect that public bathroom to have some germs – but what about that lemon wedge?
When researchers ordered drinks at 21 different restaurants, they found a host 25 of different microorganisms on the lemons, including E. coli and other fecal bacteria. Here are some other filthy finds:
• Restaurant menus: Hundreds of people handle your menu – and cold and flu viruses can survive for 18 hours on there.
• Condiment dispensers: They’re just as dirty, if not more so, than the menu.
• Soap dispensers: About 25% of public restroom dispensers are contaminated with fecal bacteria.
