A single sneeze can infect 150 people

 

LONDON: A train passenger's single sneeze can infect 150 commuters with a cold, warn medical experts after studying 1300 commuters.

The 'blast' shoots 100,000 droplets into the air at 90mph - when unchecked by a handkerchief, the experts found.

And in another five minutes germs can invade the systems of 150 people who pick them up from seats, doors, station escalator handrails and other surfaces.
