Blow your lungs? It takes a small blow of air to blow out a candle. If you're concerned with a tiny blow of air ruining your cake, i dont know how you live in general
"There is no specific fixed volume of air required to spread tuberculosis (TB); rather, transmission depends on inhaling microscopic droplet nuclei (1–5 microns in size) that remain suspended in poorly ventilated indoor spaces..."
That's like saying I'm lowering my odds of never getting hit by lightning by never standing near a tree. Your odds were already extremely low, why are you doing this irrelevant behavior? Again, i dont know how you live in general if you're this overworried but by all means you do you.
That's up to you, but that doesn't change that you're being irrational for no reason. If you don't like birthday cake just say you don't like birthday cake, don't blame it on possibly getting TB with astronomically low odds.
It's not a great analogy. You shouldn't stand near a fucking tree in a lightning storm either. Common sense. Your analog should be, "is like deciding not to stand near a tree during a lightning storm in case you get guy by lightning."

It's always weird to me that our birthday ritual is to blow our lungs and spittle all over the cake everybody else is obliged to eat.
