A member asked:

My cousin just got back from the airport and hasn't take a shower. can germs live inside her hair? will she spread germs in my room? thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Bacteria, viruses, lice can survive in her hair. However if she is healthy and generally a clean,well groomed individual, chances of her being infected with any infectious agents just because she just travelled on an airplane would be very low and I don't think you should be overly concerned.
