Even Elmo Says To Sneeze Into Your Elbow
Gordon and Elmo of Sesame Street along with www.flu.gov have teamed up make a series of PSAs to teach kids how to keep from spreading germs.
Here's one that talks about sneezing into your elbow.
By sneezing or coughing into your elbow you help to minimize the spreading of germs to other surfaces. Since your elbow is less likely than your hands to come into contact with other objects, less areas become contaminated.
So kids -- and adults -- listen to Elmo and sneeze into your elbow!
