Effect of Religion on Health

I noticed something inappropriate before the boss meet the officials who were in-charge of sealing the merger deal. The boss sneezed in the sight of the officials and didn’t have anything to clear his nose; thus, he was unable to shake the hands of the guest, which cost them the merger deal. I commend the boss for not shaking hands because he would have passed on the cold to the guest who stretched his hand for a handshake.
