The company, born in Copenhagen, is called Vaev and believes “that when flu season comes around, you should be able to get sick on your terms.”

Their website further states, “We’re not about chemicals or prescription drugs here at Vaev. We believe using a tissue that carries a human sneeze is safer than needles or pills.”

According to the website, each tissue is “specially treated with organic ingredients, is non-prescription, and works hand in hand with the human body to keep your immune system feeling like your immune system.”

The idea behind the product is that one can simply choose when they wish to fall sick.

Oliver Niessen, the 34-year-old founder of the company, told Time that the company has recruited 10 sneezers. “A sick person sneezes into a batch of our tissues, and then we put them in our packaging, and that’s how they work,” he said. “We just send it through the mail,” he added.

The product has created quite a stir on Twitter.
