Having a cough or a cold is no fun! We feel miserable and if it were possible we would gladly chop off our noses and remove our lungs and throat just for some quick relief. However as body modification is not a suitable solution, we cough and splutter and sneeze- into our hands! We then helpfully spread our cold around for others to pick up by using our germ covered hands to open doors and fridges and pull out chairs, and change the TV channel with the remote control. The answer? Use your elbow instead of your hand, or at least wash them regularly!
