Winter Wellness Myth 2. Airplane Air

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Platinum

A friend of mine sent me an article about Winter Wellness Myths....Here is the second one....

 

Myth:  The air on a plane will make you sick.  Truth:  Planes are better ventilated than many people realize.  During a flight, fresh outdoor air is continually added to cabin air, then the mixture is cycled through high efficiency filters to remove most bacteria and viruses.  the more infectious hazard?  Hard surfaces such as seat trays, which aren't always cleaned between flights.  To protect yourself, bring aboard a mini bottle of hand sanitizer and a few disinfecting wipes.

I also take AIRBORNE before gettine on. A tight place to spend a few hours with "barkers" and "sneezers".

Good Morning Kristin, You mean it is safe to fly in planes and not get sick.  Wow, maybe I will fly up to see you sometime now that I know.

I contracted Norvo virus flying from LAX to Honolulu last summer. Now I take a beach towel to sit on and use the sanitizing wipes. It may not stop getting ill, but it sure won't hurt anything. Thanks for the post
