ACHOO!!! ACHOO!!! ACHOO!!! You see another person sneezing. Allergies or not, they are sneezing 3 times in a row! What is going on?

Actually, sneezing in twos, threes or more is pretty normal for an average person. There are a lot of germs in your nose, and they come out in sneezes. Sometimes it doesn’t always take one sneeze to take all the germs out. Sometimes the amount of irritation in your nose affects how many times you sneeze. Sometimes all the nasal (often known as nose) particles comes out in one forceful sneeze, which is why some people sneeze only once or twice.

Some other things that you might not know is that you sneeze with your eyes closed. Your nose and eyes are connected by the nerves and the reaction from your sneeze travels up the nerves and and to your brain, and then to your eyelids, which makes most people blink. Unfortunately, the legend that your eyes can pop out when you’re sneezing is false.

If you hold your nose or mouth when you’re sneezing, it can cause serious damage. It forces the reaction to your ears. Then it goes back into your ears and through the tubes of your ears, and goes into the middle of your ears, where it could cause damage like an eardrum breaking or bursting. Stifled sneezes can also cause blood vessels to break in the eye. Other effects can be an injury to your diaphragm, and sudden increases of your blood pressure which can make a blood vessel in your brain to burst or break. If it’s a violent sneeze, it can cause damage to your neck. Your best bet is to let your sneeze fly. Your nose is an important role by clearing all the bacteria and viruses in your nose. Use a tissue or your to cover your sneeze. Sure, you made some noise, but you’ve also spared those around you from a shower of germs.

Bless you.
