[quote=Anonymous]My DH sneezes into the air. He turns his head but he doesn't cover his mouth. He was taught this way as a child because his parents said that unless you can wash your hand or change your shirt right away, it's more sanitary to just let it loose. They are relatively recent immigrants so maybe there is something to this. This is, of course, idiotic, but it's what he was told and it's been a somewhat hard habit to break. One thing I've never understood is: why not teach him to use a handkerchief? Like I get that people might be grossed out by sneezing into your elbow. I kind of pinch my nose closed when I do it so it doesn't get everywhere, but a handkerchief would be even better because you can fold it closed and wash it later. It's nuts to me they were just like "it's most sanitary to just sneeze into the air so it can land on people's skin and food." Like, wtf? [/quote]
