\n Coughing in public has become something that turns heads, prompts people to switch seats on mass transit and sparks anxiety. That\u2019s one unfortunate byproduct of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019ve found yourself thinking, \u201cthat person sounds so sick\u201d in those moments, you may want to reconsider.<\/p>\n

A new report in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B published today finds that humans cannot discern the difference between the cough of someone with an infection versus someone experiencing allergies or a tickle in their throat.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany organisms, including humans, have developed prophylactic behaviors to prevent pathogens from [causing infection] in the first place,\u201d Nick Michalak, a social<\/a> psychologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, told Science<\/a> News.<\/p>\n

For the study, Michalak and his colleagues played short audio clips of coughing from app<\/a>arently sick and healthy people collated from YouTube for over 200 volunteers.<\/p>\n

They asked whether each cough was from someone who was ill or not. Despite expressing confidence in their abilities, participants did no better than a coin flip in distinguishing between the two types of coughs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found no evidence that participants could accurately identify the origins of these sounds. Instead, the more disgusting they perceived a sound to be, the more likely they were to judge that it came from an infected person (regardless of whether it did),\u201d the researchers state in the study\u2019s abstract.<\/p>\n

They concluded: \u201cThus, unlike research indicating perceivers can accurately diagnose infection using other sensory modalities (e.g. sight, smell), we find people overperceive pathogen threat in subjectively disgusting sounds.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
