Sneeze particles are in the form of
tiny droplets. They are formed due
to
pressurized blow and known to contain many viral and infectious
bodies. The reasons for sneeze are many
including
allergy, viral infection, foreign bodies in the respiratory track and so
on.
Sneeze particles may not travel
longer
distance due to their initial speed.
However, since they are very small in size, soon they attain
terminal
velocity and start drifting in air (just like cloud). Hence, practically they can travel any distances depending
on
air
current. When they encounter some
substance (may be your friend) they settle down to transfer the infectious
information.
In any case, they can not travel
faster
than computer virus!
