Sneezing into your elbow is a much better way to prevent spreading germs and other infectious diseases than sneezing into your hands.
When you sneeze into your hands, you spread the germs quite easily since you touch so many things -- your computer, pens and pencils, drinking glasses, door knobs, your toothbrush, the light switch, the car door, etc.
Kids are especially notorious germ spreaders -- they want to touch EVERYTHING!
So start teaching your kids some good habits with the educational video from Germy Wormy. They also offer sanitary and disposable sleeves that help to train kids to sneeze and cough into their elbow rather than their bare hands.
