A single sneeze can infect 150 people
LONDON: A train passenger's single sneeze can infect 150 commuters with a cold, warn medical experts after studying 1300 commuters.
The 'blast' shoots 100,000 droplets into the air at
90mph - when unchecked by handkerchief, the experts found.
And in another five minutes germs can invade the systems of 150 people who pick them up from seats, doors, station escalator handrails and other surfaces.
Going by the results, the Department of Health in the UK is urging besieged Brits to combat the cold - by carrying tissues everytime.
"We're trying to raise awareness so people alter their hygiene habits," the Sun quoted a rep, as saying.

Walking is a good exercise
A recent news item (Sep 08th 2008) in http://www.indiaenews.com was quite interesting as the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) put up posters asking people to use stairs instead of lifts in all its stations.
In a busy city people do not get time to exercise but as DMRC said that approximately 700 000 people use metros every day.
It is good to get involved in carrying out exercise on a regular basis as it can cut down on people becoming obese and thus decreasing the risk of acquiring diseases and side effects of high blood pressure and diabetes.
