1. I saw a magnified picture of airborne cough particles in my 9th grade science text book.

It left an indelible impression on me; people who don't consider those around them & don't cover their mouths when they sneeze/cough really irritate me.

I'll have to pass on the video, but I urge those who haven't seen what comes out of a person's mouth as a result of a cough/sneeze to take a look.

I wasn't cut out to work in the medical field.
