Germiest Tourist Attractions

You know how Americans have a propensity to create lists? Well here’s one for you, if you’re planning to travel this summer.

Where are the “germiest” tourist attractions in the world? TripAdvisor just published a list. The Top 5:

· St. Mark’s Square, Venice, Italy: Pigeons, pigeons, pigeons.
· Blarney Stone, Blarney, Ireland: More than 400,000 kissed the stone last year.
· Market Theater Gum Wall, Seattle, Washington: Millions of multi-colored old chewing gum, several inches thick, 15 feet high.
· Grauman’s Chinese Theater, Hollywood, California. Stars’ hand and foot impressions touched by 4.5 million people a year.
· Oscar Wilde’s Tomb, Paris, France: Lipstick marks from worldwide tourists honoring his literary genius.

If you visit these places and want to indulge, make sure you brush your teeth, bring sanitizers, wash your hands, and spray Lysol on yourself afterwards.

I kid you not.
