A member asked:
I parked my car (locked) for 3 hrs in front of a pile of dirty & smelly trash which have rotten food&dirty things.can bacteria& germs get in my car?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry: The closed car is relatively isolated and nothing from the pile of trash, etc. could get into the car. We are constantly exposed to trash and other things simply by walking down the street. Most of the material in such piles is not infectious to normal humans anyway.
