Drinking water from International Hotels is dangerous
MIL/Mercola, Dec 12, 2007.
December 12, 2007 – The hidden cameras in hotel reveal how dirty water the customer drinks. You take out a glass of water as experiment. If drinking from a glass cleaned with a blue liquid labeled, then “Do Not Drink,” then dried with a used washcloth, makes you cringe, wait until you see what else these hidden cameras revealed.
At major hotel chains across the United States, you may be putting yourself at risk of staph infection, herpes and more just by drinking out of these unsanitary hotel room drinking glasses.
University of Virginia researchers, for instance, found that more than one-third of the things people commonly touch in hotel rooms -- pens, doorknobs, TV remotes, light switches -- were infected with a virus.”
In this regard, comments from Dr. Mercola
“I travel a couple of times a month, sometimes more, and this video really made me think twice about the so-called “housekeeping” that occurs in hotels across the United States -- especially because I nearly always use the glasses to consume my breakfast.
If the glassware is dirty, that is easy enough to overcome by washing the glasses yourself before using them, or even by bringing your own glass, but it calls into question the cleanliness of the entire room. You can rest assured that I will be cleaning or bringing my own glasses from now on.
Even though we would all like to feel like our “home away from home” is as tidy as our own homes, many studies have found that hotel rooms are quite germ infested.”
