It should also be noted that since the ban, they no longer use fresh air to ventilate the planes; instead, they just run the air through a filtrations system which in an enclosed environment further exacerbates the problem.

And it does wonders for helping to spread germs and air borne diseases.

I know - I get so frustrated because I have to fly about 20 times a year for work. Almost every single time I fly, I catch something - a cold, stomach bug, etc. Every time I go to work, I am sick. Every time I get home from working, I am sick.

I know it is from the planes - I work from my house except when I have to travel to events, so am rarely exposed to other peoples' germs except when I travel.

Back in 2000, I was flying to CA and I was in a plane that had the dust and mold hanging out of the vents above. It was soooooo gross.
