FEELING CARSICK?
If you're feeling a bit carsick, there may be a perfectly good reason for it. Your car is filled with bacteria -- all over the steering wheel, the dashboard and gear shift. In a survey of car owners, microbiologists from Aston University found that the typical car has 283 different types of bacteria in every square centimeter.

Not surprisingly, the cars where children and pets frequently ride not only have the highest amount of bacteria, but also the greatest range of types of bacteria. Want more?
