ABC13.com: Want to stay healthy? Sneeze in your elbow
(I think it's fairly obvious why this works - because duh- you're not passing the germs from your hands onto your mouth! which is why I've done this a lot since I was a kid... Besides, what kid hasn't wiped nose into sleeve? hardly a new idea)
ABC13.com: Want to stay healthy? Sneeze in your elbow
The reasons are fairly obvious -- when you use your hands to block a cough or sneeze, the germs stay here. And your hands can then spread the germs to doorknobs, desks, chairs and anything else you touch.
That too... But more importantly, you're not touching your germy hands to your mouth when you sneeze.
