Ok this question is about spreading colds!?


Okay, so me and my girlfriend were eating at red lobster and she thought that colds can be spread if someone sneezes at a booth onto the table and another group of people come along, like ligering germs status... Is she right?

Your girlfriend is right. Germs can be retained in saliva globules and so on from sneezing, congestion, and so on. Don't put your food directly on public tables (or even the cap of any drink bottle face down - if you think about it, when you put the cap back on your drink, you're introducing germs from the table onto the lid of the bottle). Just practice general hygiene like that and you'll survive. =)

Don't forget, germs can be more robust and resilient than we give them credit for.

Yes. Some cold or illnesses are airborne. Wash your hands constantly with antibacterial soap (Dial gold, pump or bar) and you can insert triple antibiotic ointment in the nasal passages with a q-tip to try to stop those germs from getting into the passages. Good for large crowds, cramped quarters like flying on an airplane etc.

Best of health!

Yeah but if the staff at what ever resturant clean the tables with bleach water like they are supposed to then there won't be problem. They should also wipe the booths down.
