Sneezing Is T.abooed as
Dangerous to Health

Sneezes used to be considered un
avoidable and perfectly CXcusable. In
fact, they were rather enjoyed by the
one who snce22l. Now they are con
sidered ilIvlrnau,, dangerous and very
inexcusaDle. pnti,uiNrly If not sneeZed
into a handkerchief They used to be
considered s'"Ns OF taking cold; now
they are sigl.5 Of giving colds to 9th
ers. As matter Of fact. the sncezc
has been tabooed by ali forms Of com
mol deccncy and is no longer allowed
in healthfUl society.
To sneeze in PERSONS face or even
within his presence without covering
nose and mouth with Il haAdEercllei
is now considered more Of Il crime than
an accident.
The reason is this: Grip, pneumonia,
colds, tuberculosis and many other
diseases are now known to be trans
mitted by nose and mouth secretions
and the sncczc is one Of their chief
means Of spreading. When sprayed out
into the air especially If in a closed,
unveutilated room or hail, they float
around for hours and are brcathed IL
by some innocgnt visitor or inmate per
son, later perhaps to be sEcezcd ou
again.
