    Just posted the article. Why not be constructive and post something more informative?

      Because pop science articles often throw out bullshit like “blowing your nose can cause you to expel over 100 germs” because they know that 100 sounds like a big number and will get clicks.

      People not questioning the actual context and meaning behind those numbers and how they connect back to something we actually care about leads to a lot of bullshit science reporting.
