They’re also not cleaned very often, which doesn’t fully help the situation. Recently JrPass, a Japanese rail pass company, conducted an experiment to find out what truly is the dirtiest travel item. Surprisingly, it wasn’t any of the things that most people think of.
The results revealed that people’s passports held the most amount of bacteria by a complete landslide. The bacteria was measured in CFU, which is colonies formed per unit. The passports were found to have 436 CFUs, while everything else hit below 100 CFUs.
Regular luggage had 97, shoes had 65, hand luggage had 56, phones had 45, and coats had 15. This goes to show that because multiple people touch your passport as you go through various parts of your travel journey, it is simply collecting an impressive amount of bacteria throughout the journey. Plus, people don’t necessarily think to wash their passport like they do other items.
