Heavy Coughing Can Cause You To Lose Your Head
Notice how this guy is coughing a lot into his hand? And then he drinks out of a plastic water bottle and spreads all his germs onto the bottle. Imagine if you had to pick up that bottle, maybe to hand it to him or to even throw it away.
Can you imagine how many germs would be transferred to your own hand?
And if passing along germs isn't bad enough, check out what happens to this poor guy's head after a coughing fit. You certainly don't want to catch that so learn to cough into your elbow!

Tags: Coughing Into Your Hand Videos – Here’s How Germs Are Spread
Even the best of us will cough into our hands rather than our elbow. That's how germs are so easily spread.
In this first video, notice how the newscaster has a pen in her hand. Do you think it's now covered in germs? Do you think it's likely that someone might pick up her pen and then get her germs all over THEIR hands?
If you're like me, you may mindlessly even stick part of the pen -- and all her germs -- into your mouth!
In this next video Hillary Clinton gets the unfortunate case of the coughs during an interview. She coughs into her hand -- as we probably would all do -- and eventually reaches off camera for a glass of water.
So all the germs from her hand are now all over the glass. Now what do you think will happen to the person who then picks up the glass? Yes, their hands are now full of Hillary Clinton's germs.
Even if it was a paper cup the germs could easily get transferred to the next person who touches the cup.
Be sure to check out the educational video and sanitary sleeve guards at Germy Wormy.
