When someone around us sneezes, we think the person is spreading germs. It’s true: Sneezed air contains 100,000 or more viruses and bacteria that can reach 93 mph and saturate the nearby 3- to 5-foot locale. However, sneezing also keeps our bodies safe, according to a 2014 Health Fitness Revolution website article.
