10 Hot Spots for Germs
It’s difficult, if not impossible, to avoid germs. The tiny organisms that can cause sicknesses like cold and flu lurk on just about every imaginable surface, from doorknobs to store shelves.

Here are some of the places you might encounter them, along with how to stay nearly germ-free when you do.
