This comes to you as a public service announcement for those of you who travel.
Atlanta's Fox News ITEAM reported that out of the 5 hotels they secretly investigated (four of them randomly chosen) all five failed to replace the glasses in individual rooms with fresh ones when cleaning the rooms.
The common procedure they found? Rinse them out and put them back. One housekeeping lady even cleaned the toilet and then with the same rubber glove on proceeded to rinse out the drinking glasses before putting them back.
The health expert they interviewed said the unwashed glasses could transmit diseases including flesh eating bacteria. I haven't been able to stop thinking about those video clips since watching them, and I'm worried about all the unwary travelers out there. So I'm spreading the word, consider yourself warned.
Read about it here, here, and here.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find an archived copy of the video clips online, perhaps FOX will re-post them at some point.
What to do?

That's it. I'm bringing one of my Dad's Army biohazard suits next time I stay at a hotel. Yeesh!
