The 8 Germiest Places in the Mall

Reference: http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20543689_1,00.html

Summary:
1. Bathroom sinks
- Sinks are moist, so it is easy for bacteria to live on them.
2. Food court tables
- Even trying to clean these table so not ensure that they are clean.
3. Escalator handrails
- Disgusting substances have been found on these rails including urine, feces and mucus
4. ATM keypads
- Many viruses are spread by germs on these ATM's
5. Toy stores
- Kids are get everything on their hands and then they touch everything.
6. Fitting rooms
- If several people try on one piece of clothing, they are covered in sweat and skin cells.
7. Gadget shops
- Stores such as Best Buy have displays of products used to test and spread germs.
8. Makeup Samples
- In 2007, 100% of samples carried bacteria

Critique: I have never been scared of germs, but for those who are, this could be helpful.

Impact: For people who do not like germs, this list can make them aware and help them prevent getting sick.
