Ah-Choo! There you go.. someone just sneezed again. Lol :P The common cold is not labeled common without a reason. The implication is quite literal. People get hit by the common cold quite a few times in their lives, and exceptions to this are quite on the rare side. I am not going to ask if you had ever sneezed before. You probably deserve a place in the museum if your answer is an honest no. Instead, I like you to think back on your reaction when someone around you sneezes. Fair enough, you might be a nice soul like me and say things to the effect of "God bless you". But what do you do yourself? Do you STOP BREATHING? I find myself holding my breath when someone goes *ah-choo* around me. After all, the cold is an airborne ailment and no matter how nice I am, me getting sick just doesn't help that poor guy get any better. I would be better off staying healthy myself. Regardless, I am not sure if holding my breath and getting some fresh air work - I might probably have breathed in the virus anyway - but it's just a natural survival mechanism, so to speak. So what about you? What do you do when someone sneezes? Stop breathing? move around? Take a deep breath (lol)? Do share your thoughts.
