Spreading Germs Slow Motion Video
Here is a fascinating -- and rather disgusting -- slow motion view of people sneezing out into the air. You can basically see every droplet of mucus and spit spraying out of their nose and mouth.
Now imagine you didn't have a tissue handy -- which is usually the case.
Where would you sneeze? Most likely into your hands. Yes, that's the "polite" thing to do.
So all those drops of germy spittle that you see flying out into the air are now ALL ON YOUR HANDS! Yes, all those germs are ripe and ready for you to pass along to your computer keyboard, your cell phone, door knobs, the steering wheel of your car, your partner's hair and face, and then maybe back to your own mouth! *yiiiick!*
The next time you get the urge to sneeze, cover up the safer way by sneezing into your elbow. There is a lot less chance of transferring your germs from your elbow than from your hands.
Also, get your kids into the habit of sneezing into their elbow with this educational Germy Wormy product. They offer a teaching DVD and also sanitary and disposable sleeves with a cute Germy Wormy character on it to help the kids visualize where to sneeze. Simple yet effective!
