Excerpt:

An ABC News hidden camera captures a waiter holding glasses near the rim, where a patron would put his/her mouth to drink. Inset: a Petri dish containing bacterial growth from hands that were not thoroughly washed. (Image Credit: ABC News) I went undercover at 10 restaurants in three states to find out which spots were the germiest. The results were surprising: Visible goop didn’t always translate into bad bugs, and some spotless surfaces harbored major microbes. No matter where the germs are, how can you protect yourself if you’re concerned? Since restaurant seats, tables and menus can be contaminated with bacteria, order your food and then head to the restroom to wash up before eating. Lather your hands for a full 20 seconds, then flip the faucet off with your forearm and open the door with your paper towel.
