Comments on: Arkleseizure bless you! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/02/19/arkleseizure-bless-you/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

It is a good idea, when you have 65 people in close quarters that spend most of the day crawling in the dirt and few opportunities to wash your hands.

Remember, in the 4th book of this fantast-o-matic trilogy, the part where they meet this guy who, err, moved 'out' of the asylum - because of a series of suggestions on how to use a toothpick? Not as far-fetched as I thought a few years ago, is it? just my 2 cents .. Tee hee ..

What I usually do, if there is opportunity to do so, is to either cough into my upper arm or to turn my head away from people and cough down toward the ground. This presumes I have noone behind me and is best done outdoors, of course. I’ve independently observed that it’s a dumb idea to cough into one’s hands.
