You may heard that the following things are teeming with malvolent microbes and are a threat to your health, but they're not.

1. Money. Metal coins and paper or plastic notes are generally too dry to harbour organisms.

2. A peck on the cheek. Theoretically, you can transmit bacteria and viruses back and forth with a good-bye kiss, but even brushing lips together is a lot less risk than shaking hands. There's no need to limit such social interactions for your health.

3. Restaurant mints. Although unclean hands may have dipped into the bowl, there's only a small chance that the mints next to the cashier at your favourite restaurant will make you sick - and certainly little or no chance if they are wrapped. The odds are slightly, however, if you take an antacid after dinner. Antacid reduce the stomach acids that kill bacteria.

4. Urine on toilet seats. Truth be told, urine is sterile, so even though it's certainly off-putting, you don't have to worry that it harbours any germs besides the ones on that seat to begin with. Wipe any urine off the seat with a paper towel or toilet paper.

HOME REMEDIES


A cup of hot water with some honey and a few slices of lemon can soothe a cough, but only in the early stages. The Chinese herbalist suggests adding some dried sour plums for a better effect.


Walnuts and almonds are said to be able to nourish the lungs and bring back strength to the body. Chew on a few pieces or add into herbal soups.


Indian ayurvedic medicine suggests taking turmeric and ginger in a glass of milk, or some hot water and honey. If the cough is more severe, add a clove of garlic.


According to Chinese traditional medicine, pears are a good remedy for cough. Steam them until they’re soft and eat the pear slices, or drink the liquid. The pears can also be boiled with almond slices and American ginseng.


Liquorice has been long believed to be a soothing remedy for cough. Chinese herbalists recommend chewing on a few grams of liquorice root for quick relief. Alternatively, there are many cough drops and lozenges that contain liquorice.


A traditional ayurvedic practice is to add a little black pepper into the last meal of the day. The antiinflammatory properties of black pepper will soothe the irritation and provide a good night’s sleep.
