How germy are those lemon wedges we plop into our water glasses at restaurants?
A slice of lemon can spruce up plain-old water, but you might be drinking more than you bargained for. Turns out, those seemingly innocuous water glass garnishes (see also: iced tea and diet soda) could be serving up a host of unappetizing organisms.
This Will Make You Never, Ever Want To Put A Lemon Wedge In Your Water Again

Do mosquitoes really prefer to bite some people over others? And why?
Several Healthy Living editors consider themselves mosquito delicacies. Could we all be right?
“One in 10 people are highly attractive to mosquitoes,” Jerry Butler, Ph.D., professor emeritus at the University of Florida, told WebMD. Another estimate from the research suggests that 20 percent — or one in five people — are mosquito magnets.
It is definitely true that some people are more attractive to the pesky insects than others, but the reason why remains a bit of a mystery. There are a number of myths out there, including the assertion that mosquitoes prefer blondes. In reality, mosquito preference doesn’t seem to have anything to do with hair color, blood sugar levels, floral perfumes or many of the other factors we’ve heard rumors about.
