Mucus expelled from sneezing can travel surprisingly far, often up to 10 feet (3 meters) or more, depending on factors like the force of the sneeze and environmental conditions. Tiny droplets containing mucus and pathogens can remain airborne for varying distances, leading to potential transmission of illnesses. The droplets can also settle on surfaces, contributing to the spread of germs. Proper hygiene and covering sneezes can help mitigate this risk.
