I believed that if someone burped, sneezed or coughed near me while I was eating, the germs would float to my food. I would frantically cover or fan my hands above any "sticky" food, like spaghetti or meatloaf, cause the germs would get stuck to it as they floated by. But if it was something dry, like bread, I could just brush the germs off the top.
