As a general rule, it's best always to sneeze or cough into your sleeve, regardless of how many other people or animals are in the vicinity. Unless your snail or slug happens to be on your sleeve at the time (then use the other sleeve ).

I wouldn't blow my nose on my sleeve, no. lol. A tissue would work; be sure to wash your hands afterwards.

as a gen. rule when sneezing always use tissues and throw them away (esp with the H1N1 going around) and never hold a sneeze as it may rupture a blood vessel.
(I'm a nurseing student btw...)

I never knew holding a sneeze could rupture a blood vessel. Thank you for the health tips!
