๐ Why Tissues Are Better for Sneezes: A Kid's Explanation
Imagine tiny, invisible germs are trying to hitch a ride on you! When you sneeze, you're blasting those germs out of your nose and mouth. Where they land makes a big difference.
- ๐ฆ Tissues: Think of a tissue as a one-way ticket for germs. You catch the sneeze, and then you throw the tissue away, sending those germs far, far away from you and everyone else.
- ๐ Sleeves: Now, imagine using your sleeve. The germs land there, and they're stuck! Your sleeve becomes a germy playground. Every time you touch something, you might leave those germs behind for others to pick up. Yuck!
- ๐ง Staying Dry: Tissues are designed to absorb all the wetness from your sneeze. Sleeves aren't, so you're walking around with a damp, germy sleeve all day.
- โป๏ธ Cleanliness: Using a clean tissue every time helps keep you and others healthy. It's a simple way to stop germs from spreading.
