[quote=Anonymous]OK, I know ebola is not much of a risk.  But we are flying from DC to LA in a few weeks.   In researching viruses and bacteria on planes, I read articles on how little planes, including tray tables and bathrooms, are really cleaned, and how tests showed that all kinds of strange germs are present.
 
I definitely plan to bring some Clorox wipes and wipe down armrests, buckles, tray tables.  That seems like a good idea, ebola aside, for all the other random germs that can collect there.

But would you go out of your way to stare at me if I wore some gloves on the plane -- maybe some white cotton ones (or black leather?) What is less obtrusive?   My son loves wearing his Spiderman costume, with gloves, so I figure he may as well wear that on the plane so that he doesn't suck his thumb.

The thing is, those planes go everywhere -- and someone with sweat, spit, vomit, or poop on their hands could have transferred from W. Africa.   I know that the virus shouldn't spread much in the US, but if you are one of the unlucky ones to be on the front line of contact, it certainly could spread to you.

Thoughts?   [/quote]
