Peoples sneezes and coughs are so unhygienic
Most people do not maintain appropriate hygiene when coughing or sneezing.

This was revealed by research conducted by students of the School of Medicine University of Otago, and reported by the Diariosalud.net portal, secretly observing hundreds of people in the city of Wellington as they sneezed or coughed on a train station in a shopping mall and a hospital.

The survey covered two weeks of August 2009 during the last stage of the influenza A H1N1, showed that most observers did not act properly to prevent the spread of infectious agents by air. This was reflected in that, after coughing or sneezing, touched the door handles, furniture, miscellaneous items and people.

In this regard, Dr Nick Wilson, author of the research, warned that "when you cough into your hands the sprinkling of virus, so we recommend using a handkerchief or toilet paper."
