ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) - Are your kids "dabbing" at school? Some schools are using a new dance move to get their students to cover their mouths when they sneeze. The poster says "dont' spread germs this winter, DAB. Destroy all bacteria when you sneeze.

Doctors have cautioned people not to sneeze or cough into their hands since people generally touch other things afterwards and spread germs.

What is the "dab"? It is a dance move where someone leans into their elbow while raising an arm. Its origins are from the Atlanta hip-hop scene. It rose to national popularity after NFL quarterback Cam Newton started performing the dance after touchdowns. He credited his 16-year-old brother Caylin with introducing him to the dance.
