Use feet,not hands on plane

Passengers on planes have been asked to use their feet instead of their hands

when operating in-flight entertainment devices, because it is morehygienic.

Airlines made therequest after itwasrevealed that thereare fewer bacteria

(microscopic life forms thatcanharm people or help with digesting food) on

feet than thereare on hands, which means the screens don’t need to be

cleaned as often. The owner of one airline, Ryan Hair,said most flyers had

managed to use the devices with their toes when asked. Do you think this story

is real, or is it toe weirdtobetrue?*

Do youuse handsor

feet forthe screens?
