Life might be all hunky-dory, but when you sneeze in the midst of doing something, it can be a bit disturbing and disruptive. Sneezing happens when there is irritation in the nose. Despite being a small organ of the face, the nose is part of the five senses. And so, it is highly sensitive to smell, and polluting agents in the air. Therefore, it is important for you to sneeze, in order to get the irritants out of your nose.

What Is Sneezing?

Let us know the basics of what is sneezing in the first place. Now don’t be under the impression that it involves just the nose, even the respiratory system, and the brain are a part of the action. In fact, our brain has a special part which makes us sneeze. Plus, there is our diaphragm (which is a muscle that lies above our stomach and below the rib cage), the chest, the abdominal muscles and the throat, all putting their bit in the sneezing process.

Have you noticed that whenever we sneeze, our eyes tend to shut? It is an involuntary reflex action where the nose ejects millions of tiny mucous droplets into the atmosphere. These droplets travel at a speed of 40 miles an hour (approximately) and have millions of viruses. So, it is important to cover your nose by using a tissue while you are sneezing so that the germs do not spread.

Though most of us sneeze, but at times the action, meaning the sneeze, doesn’t get completed. The point is, how to ensure that the sneeze gets completed. Read the ways to make you sneeze below.

Once my friend wanted to sneeze, but you now sometimes how it suddenly stops midway and it gets annoying. This happened a couple of times in the 10 minutes we were together, so we finally tried the perfume trick, to let her sneeze out. We tried the perfume trick as a joke, but it really worked to our surprise.
