Sneezing is generally caused by irritation in the passages of the nose. Allergens such as pollens, pet dander, house dust mites, as well as nonallergenic particles are usually harmless, but when they irritate the nose the body responds by expelling them from the nasal passages. The nose mistakes strong odors, sudden chills, bright lights (see photic sneeze reflex), and even orgasms in some people for nasal irritants, and it tries to defend itself with a sneeze.
there are different believes about sneezing In Hungary and Slovenia, a sneeze that occurs after making a statement is sometimes interpreted as a confirmation by God that the statement was true.
It is a common belief in India and Pakistan that one sneezes if he remembers or is remembered by someone dear to him. Most Indians consider sneezing healthy, and the inability to sneeze to be cause for alarm.
According to an old Japanese belief, sneezing twice in a row is a sign that someone is talking about you.

It is our body'd defense against dust and other impurities that enter through our nasal passages. If the little guys irritate the passages, it sends a swelling sensation that triggers the sneeze totally blowing the irritants out of the body. Nice little plan eh?
