You can almost tell how old a person is by where they cover their cough/sneeze. In my day, we sneezed/coughed into our hands. When my granddaughter catches me doing it wrong she yells "Not like that Grandpa! Now I can't hold your hand!"
Aw! Although I did read something online that sneezing into your hands actually might be better in a way as long as you wash them right away. Their argument was that if you sneeze into your sleeve...the germs stay in your sleeves. I guess the best option would be to sneeze into a tissue but that's not really realistic all the time.....sneeze dilemma!
Aww. I hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteA belated thanks! As of mid January I can say that I'm pretty much 100% better! yay!
