5 Ways to Avoid a Cold When Our Significant Other Is Sick

We have all been there, our better half is sick and we want to be supportive and take care of them. But, by the same token, we don't want to get sick ourselves!

A recent survey asked people how far they were willing to go to avoid getting sick.

55% said they've used hand sanitizer after shaking someone's hand. 35% have opened a door with their sleeve while 25% have actually asked someone who's sick to stay away from them.

The survey also asked folks how they prevent their significant other from getting them sick. Here are the top five responses:

1. 54% said they avoid kissing them when their sick
2. 39% avoid making whoopee
3. 31% wash their hands more often
4. 17% would cancel a date, so they didn't have to deal with it
5. 16% avoid sleeping in the same bed together

The survey also discovered 66% of us would give up social media or alcohol to avoid getting sick. But it doesn't say how long you'd have to give it up for.
