Oh no, it's everywhere! I know what I need for this!
Tissues have been a staple of illness management for many a year now, likely for their usefulness in controlling an unruly nose. When it seems like your nose has stopped running and is sprinting instead, it's time to reach for the tissues. I have personally had many dealings with these marvelous sheets of paper, as when my nose starts it's leak, it's much like the old saying with rain: "when it rains, it pours."
Facial tissues are actually the disposable alternatives to handkerchiefs, which generally serve the same purpose but can be much more dangerous as they hold the bacteria and viruses of the illness they are used for in, and must be washed, not thrown away. In this way, tissues are much safer and more convenient. Kleenex has basically become the top dog when it comes to tissues, their brand name having become generic for use to refer to any tissues of any brand.
I think that tissues are one of the best things in the world because they help to stop a running nose and help keep the bacteria off of others as long as the tissues are put in the trash and not in the floor or on an end table because you don't feel like getting up out of the chair.
