Don't cover your cough with your hand
By Deb Bloom of Gimme One of Each
This is probably the shortest intel ever, but I have to tell everyone...DON'T COVER YOUR COUGH WITH YOUR HAND. I know, we've had that drilled into our heads over and over since the beginning of time. If you cough or sneeze into your hand, I don't have to tell you what your hand feels like after you do. It's wet. Wet with your germs. Then you walk down the hallway, grab a door knob, go a little further, use the phone, go back out in the hallway, push the elevator button and shake the guys hand in the lobby! Think about it. If you can carry hand sanitizer, great, clean your hands immediately after you sneeze or cough, EVERY time. OR use your elbow. Yes. Put your mouth into the inside of your elbow and cough into that, NOT your hand. * Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
* If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands.
* Put your used tissue in the waste basket.
* Use hand sanitizer or wash your hands, scrubbing for 20 seconds and cleaning them like a surgeon! Stop spreading the wealth!

Contributor's Note
I wrote this because the swine flu thing has everyone covering their mouth when they cough, but there is a proper way to do it. I'm an RN and I know all about germs, (more than I'd like sometimes)
