After reading this, when a person sneezes next to you, they will likely react very differently.

If you're surrounded by people and succumb to a spontaneous sneeze … Don't forget to cover your nose and mouth! It is not just a matter of education …

Countless studies show that particles released into the air after a coughing or sneezing attack can travel a whopping two meters! They are real bullets, can you believe it?

"When you cough or sneeze, you can see the droplets splashing around you, you can even feel them if someone sneezes near you," says John Brush, author of one of the studies. "What you don't see is the gas cloud that surrounds it, whose mission is to take the particles even further, especially the smallest droplets."

A new study shows that the tiniest droplets fly much faster than large ones and go as far as they can: the cloud becomes part of the environment and continues to expand and mix with the air around you.

The most common way to spread a disease is by coughing or sneezing someone. Infections also happen when we touch the surface of an object that carries viruses and then inadvertently touch our mouth, nose, and in many cases, our eyes.

All studies agree on the same thing: the best way not to get sick is to stay away from someone who coughs or sneezes and vaccinates against the flu.
