Believe it or not, holiday travel is not that far off. People from from Dallas, Texas to Houston, Tyler and Athens will soon be traveling for the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays.

Once the flights are booked, the rental car is reserved along with the hotel room the last thing you want to do is get sick and for that sickness to ruin your holiday plans.

It will happen to someone and memories will be ruined.

There is a lot of misinformation when it comes to social media. Lots of untruths being told and 'crazes' to jump on board with and be a part of and with so much information to sift through, it's hard to determine the good from the bad and the truth from the lie. However, there is some useful information that appears from time to time that is thought-provoking.

One of those things talked about is being served a drink at 35,000 feet

Flight attendants are suggesting that passengers should never drink anything that is served to them on a plane unless they see it come from a can or a bottle.

Airlines passengers are encouraged not to drink water served from pitchers while in flight.

The reason is that the airlines seem to rarely clean and disinfect the on-board water tanks. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires airlines to test and disinfect the water tanks regularly for public health, however, that doesn't appear to happen as often as required, according to this report. The EPA requires tanks to be emptied and tested for E. Coli and other bacteria at least four times a year for each aircraft.

Avoid ordering these drinks at 35,000 feet

Airline employees have come out and said that if you are served water, tea, or coffee from anything other than a bottle or can, you should decline that drink. Often times those three drinks are prepared using the water from the tanks that seem to be rarely inspected.
