Nurse's Corner |
Everyone (hopefully) understands they should cover their cough and sneeze; however, using your bare hand to do that may not be the best method. If you use your bare hand to cover your cough and sneeze, those germs are going to hang out on your hand and chances are you're going to touch something before you are able to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer thus spreading germs.
The "Dracula Sneeze" (raising your upper arm to cover your nose and mouth) makes more sense in preventing the spread of germs, but some of us may need a little practice before it catches on. If you find the "Dracula Sneeze" method on the more gross side, carry some tissue with you. Catch the sneeze or cough in the tissue, toss it in the garbage can and immediately wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.
Cold and flu season is upon us. Start practicing your "Dracula Sneeze" and help keep TCA healthy!
