Favorite thing: Travel cocktail kit, $275. At Stephen Kenn. Says Janelle: “The travel cocktail kit from Stephen Kenn is the best way to keep the frenzy of holiday travel at bay. Instead of relying on the basic selection of booze from the flight attendants’ meager liquor cabinet, pack your goods ahead of time and mix yourself a proper Manhattan up high and in style.”

Other unpleasant microbes discovered by researchers include staphylococcus spp, which can cause staph infections when it is introduced to an open wound, and pseudomonas -- another organism that can cause incredibly dangerous infections under the right circumstances.
