Wanna settle a bet? I say you should always cover your mouth when sneezing howev!


Question:

Wanna settle a bet? I say you should always cover your mouth when sneezing however my hubby says no?

He says he read an article that stated you should never cover your mouth unless you are around people..... who is right? I admit, I am a germaphob somewhat, and when he sneezed yesterday and didn't cover his mouth but, turned away from me, I freaked out, ah married life!!! So, seriously folks what is YOUR take on this? Have you ever heard of a doctor saying don't cover or am I right??
Thanks!


Answers:

he probably got it confused with the fact that "if you try to hold your sneeze , you could break a rib"
well when you sneeze the air blows out @ 60miles perhrs so no suprises there. !!

Covering your mouth while sneezing is more of a etiquette rather than anything else. By covering up you dont release your bacterias into the surrounding which would help when ones sick.
