If you love eating out...don't read this list!

10.Salad Bar Tongs
  The salad bar tongs weren't that bad -- maybe because Americans don't eat enough   salad.

9.Ketchup Bottles
  The ketchup bottles weren't harboring anything too awful.

8. Bathroom Faucets
Not as bad as you would think.

7.Bathroom Door Knobs
  The faucets, the door handles ... were some of our least germy items, because   they get cleaned.

6. Rims of Glasses
  The hidden cameras caught waiters gripping glasses right at the top where we   drink, which gives pathogens a direct route into our bodies. Tests on the samples   took detected multiple bacteria, including one linked with tuberculosis.

5.Tables
  Here's a clue as to how tables could be so germy. Photographs of parents changing   their baby's diapers at the table and toilet-training their toddlers in restaurants.

4. Salt and Pepper Shakers
  Half of the swabs took from them were contaminated. How is that possible? They're   used often but are rarely cleaned.

3. Lemon Wedges
  One of the most frequently occurring contaminants in the test results was fecal   matter. Half of the lemon wedges tested were tainted with human waste. How does   fecal matter get on lemons in the first place? Cameras caught restaurant workers   grabbing lemons with their bare hands, reaching in again and again without gloves   or tongs. If they haven't washed their hands well after using the bathroom,   germs spread.

2.Menus
  The bacteria that causes staph infections and the germs that cause strep were   found rampant. .

1.Seats
  Seventy percent of the chair seats tested had bad bacteria on them -- 17 different   kinds, including strains of E. coli. Why? All customers sit on them, and most   restaurants don't think to sanitize them.
