When you have to sneeze, and no tissues are available, sneeze into your arm, not your hand. Then make sure to throw your shirt in with the dirty wash at the end of the day and not wear it again until it's clean! (This is usually a given, except when it's a sweater that you only wear over your clothes to go outside or something.)

When sneezing a lot, stay home! The more isolated you are, the less germs you can spread, and couldn't we all use a day off, anyway?

Tips & Warnings
Don't go crazy with this. If you sneeze about a zillion times in a row, you don't have to sanitize after each sneeze. You can wait for the sneezing fit to be over.
