PSA: Cough/sneeze into your arm, not your hand 1

I think it's gross how often it is that people sneeze or cough into their hands, definitely far from an effective way of stopping the spread of grossness and germs for obvious reasons.
It's a good idea to get in the habit of coughing into your inner-elbow area instead. I've been doing it for many years, and never got any sorts of weird looks from doing it or anything.

I was a cook for 6 years and that's the way the Health Dept. wants it done. Sneeze into either your shoulder or your elbow is what they say.
Makes sense. More sense than into your hands which then touch everything...

Fuck that, I sneeze open air, as far as I can launch the shit, if people are nearby, I purposely sneeze in their immediate direction, say sorry, but no sympathy felt. Less people is a good thing.

When you sneeze into your arm you walk around with germs covering your arm the whole day. You should sneeze in your hands then wash/sanitize them right after.

There must be more to it than that, the Health Department guidelines say not to do it in your hand.
Probably has to do with when you might be able to wash your hands, how well one does wash them, the fact that your elbow or inner shoulder rarely touch anything...

Yeah I've heard different things about the elbow sneeze/cough.
I do that most frequently, but I can also see how it wouldn't be recommended. As enemaofthestate said, the germs will just be posted up for the rest of the day on the arm or shoulder. Whereas hands can get washed up.

Yeah I get that. I'm looking at this with a food service perspective. Coughing/sneezing into the elbow or shoulder is gonna end up on the shirt at some point, which can't readily just get washed at anytime. Leaving you serving/touching food wearing a sneeze rag for a shirt.
I'm not arguing. I do both. Just observing all angles.
buthrt btw

I had an old teacher from like middle school who did what we called a "chain-sneeze". She sneezed like 15 times in 15 seconds

Why gross up your inner elbow? Don't cover up the sneeze at all, let the breeze take it away.
