Recent
research has shown that everyday behavior, such as sneezing can cause others to
overreact out of the basis fear, even for unrelated health stress.
Physical
symptoms are cues that tell us whether our health is good or endangered in some
ways. These cues or signals are very important to keeping us healthy, but they
are also easy to misinterpret and are easily influenced by social context.
Researchers
found that a nearby sneeze can raise fear of health threats not linked to germ
transfer, such as having heart attack before the age of 55.
Other
symptoms are the awareness of our own vulnerability that activate both
conscious and unconscious fear and sense of danger. When someone overreacts to
another’s behavior, inherently they are doubting their physical well-being.
So
how do we not overreact? Proper steps to minimize danger of bacteria
transmission through sneezing- such as washing your hands often and stay
hygiene.
