    Flight attendants avoid drinking tap water on American airplanes

    A shocking study from EPA found that 1 in every 8 American planes fails the standards for water safety. Some water tanks are a wonderful home for coli bacteria. As a result flight attendants themselves never drink the airplane water.

    So enjoy your next tea or coffee, when you are flying above the clouds and don't be surprised, if you are the unlucky one who has problems with the stomach or intestines one week later.



    With German airlines this scenario is unthinkable. We have the strongest health safety and consumer protection regulations worldwide. They would refuse the clearance for take off if there is something wrong with the water.

    You should come and live where I am. The water at night, in the wee hours of the AM, sometimes smells like pool water. Have no idea what they're dumping into the water to make is smell like clorine, but believe me, I don't drink the tap water here.

    As far as I know, the major German airline is Lufthansa which is at the same time a member of Star Alliance Group. How do you think, can other members of this group be trusted to follow the same high-quality standards as Lufthansa?

    P.S. Lufthansa is one of my favorite airlines.
    P.S.S. Even though I love Lufthansa, I still stick to canned liquids aboard.

    When flying, my objective is typically to fall asleep before takeoff and wake up right before landing. Usually, I drink enough at the airport bar prior to boarding so that I need not drink anything during the flight (and so that I pass out upon taking my seat).

    I only put my hands into fire, that you have clean water, if the water tanks will be filled into a German airline on German soil. We have here for everything, even for rolls an own hygiene control agency. If this is not the case, you have no German plane on German soil, then you should follow Shay's airplane survival strategy.

    "I drink enough at the airport bar prior to boarding"

    Thank goodness, you not quench your thirst at the drinking fountains.
    The buttons are close to two dozen times more contaminated than the bathroom stall locks.

    And please Shay, when you fall asleep next time, please be careful not to fall with your head face down onto the tray table, because this is the most contaminated place in the whole airplane.

    Here you have all details for your next flying adventure:

    I`m curious what would be comparative results of Airplaine hygiene comparing to train or any other source of transportation used intensively...

    This urge for safety and hygiene is good and bad at the same time. From one point it is reasonable to be afraid of germs, but if the threat is constantly avoided, then immune system relaxes and becomes vulnerable. Some time ago I watched a documentary called "Babies" by Thomas Balmès. It tells a story of 4 babies that were born in Japan, Mongolia, US, and Namibia. The contrast was shocking. While Japanese kid was surrounded by high tech safe environment a Mongolian kid had a goat drinking from his improvised bath tub. How do you think, who will be more germ resistant in the adulthood?

    What is better, to have less germs around or be too tough for germs to take you down?

    Everything depends on the context.
    In everyday life, you do not have to put yourself in 100% sanitary, you know very well, that it is not good.
    After you take the slightest germ that comes.
    Now in airplanes, if you let the water rot, it's poisoning, it's not the same

    Right.

    It's a proven fact, that children, who grow up with pets, pets, who have some freedom in their every day life, this children have a stronger immune system than other children, who live quasi in a sterile decontamination environment.

    When I was three years old and cried, I was put together with our miniature pinscher into the dog basket and each of us became dog biscuit.

    It did not hurt me.
    Everything dissolved into a constant, peaceful quietness.

    It is very true. For example, when I was expecting my children, I had cats. I never had toxoplasmosis.
    While friends who had no cats had it. And the rest is the same.
    You need good hygiene, that's for sure.

    I had few cats during my school years, and even though I liked them, I do dream about a doggo. (Or after watching that youtube video - a parrot) But it`s kind of a responsible step. Like having a baby. On another hand, it teaches some discipline.

    Controversial Friday

    Today: "What is real awfulness"?

    For me real awfulness is the scenario of having a wife, that is fat like a wisent, lying in the bed like a wooden board and snoring all night long, farting 28 times during breakfast, already drunk at High Noon, with facial hair and ... a Hillary Clinton supporter.

    No, thank you.

    "Waiter, the bill please!"

    Yes. I read one book. The memour of one millitary officer about war in Afganistan 1979-1989. Army builded hospitals for local peoples. And ~ 100% all medical drugs showed very good results when local people taked it.

    The secret is, that local people during many generations don't taked any tablets or other forms of medicine drugs. And they have very strong immune system.
