A recent study has revealed that suitcase wheels can harbor a staggering amount of bacteria, almost 58 times more than a public toilet seat. Expert microbiologist Amy-May Pointer notes that these wheels, along with the base of the suitcase, act as germ magnets due to their frequent interaction with dirty surfaces.
