Bacteria A Concern in Hotels

Posted: Updated:

Next time you're in a hotel, you may want to think twice before turning on the TV or the lights.

A study of hotel surfaces finds the TV remote and the bedside lamp switch carry some of the most bacteria.

The lowest levels of contamination included the headboard, curtain rods and bathroom door handle.

Researchers say they don't know if any of the bacteria detected can actually cause disease or sickness.
