"Maybe you have hay fever, COVID, a cold or the flu, and are reaching for a
tissue or handkerchief.

But which one’s better at stopping infections spreading? Which has a smaller
environmental impact? Is it the hanky, which has been with us since at least
Roman times? Or the more recent and widely-used paper tissue?

You might be surprised at the results."
