The interior surfaces of an airplane is a breeding ground for bacteria. We are also locked up in a tiny space for however long with others carrying all sorts of viruses. Ebola is a concern of course, but so are a host of other illnesses.
The only thing I try to do is to wash my hands AND not touch my face/rub my eyes.

Indeed. Clean enough. The person I was responding to was saying that planes used to be 'Sanitized'. To my knowledge, there is a big difference between clean and sanitized and planes were never sanitized, unless specific incidents required.
I think we're on the same side here.
