Answer 1

Sneezing is caused by irritation and clogs from bacteria in the throat, lungs, or nose. Sneezing in addition to coughing and the secretion of mucus is how your body gets rid of bacteria. Harmless allergens such as pet dander, house dust mites, irritate the body, causing the body to expel it. A sneeze may actually contain over 5000 droplets that can travel about 2 meters (the length of a small room). This is basically what happens. Also, your eyes close to protect the tear ducts and blood vessels from the bacteria. People may say "God bless you" or "Gensundeit" (spelling?) which means sort of like Good Luck in German. Back in the old days, a cold or the flu usually meant either death or serious disease. Sneezing and coughing are telltale signs of these symptoms, so it's like a "here's to hoping you don't get sick"

Answer 2

Sneezing is a reflex, which means that it's an uncontrollable physical response to an outside stimulus. When something, say a piece of dust or a strong odor, stimulates nerve endings in the lining of the nose, the stimulus travels to the central nervous system and is then routed back to the muscles of the face, throat and chest. Once stimulated, these muscles go to work and cause us to forcefully expel air from the mouth and nose. Or, in other words, we sneeze.

Answer 3

Did you know it is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open? But don't try to stop sneezing, because sneezing releases pressure in your head, that's why your ears pop when you sneeze. Sneezing is generally caused by irritation and some times bacterial clog up in the throat, lungs or 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, and even orgasms in some people for nasal irritants, and it tries to defend itself with a sneeze.A sternutation, sternutatory reflex or, more commonly known, sneeze is a semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air from the nose and mouth. This air can reach speeds of 70 m/s (250 km/h or 155 MPH). Sneezes spread disease by producing infectious droplets that are 0.5 to 5 µm in diameter, about 40,000 such droplets can be produced by a single sneeze.

Answer 4

Sneezing a lot, like sneeze after sneeze, could mean that you're allergic to something. That's what I've always learned.

As for what's going on in your body, I have no clue. I think sneezing just might be a way to rid your nose of stuff you're allergic to or stop your nose from tickling, but in all honesty, I have no clue.

Answer 5

Your body is trying to expel a foreign particle that got past the nose hairs. It is the body's self defense mechanism.
Eg. If you should eat some spoil food, your body protects itself by causing you to hurl.
The lungs only got air to force out the foreign particle(including cold germs) Most often it is dust particles that hit the more sensitive hairs farther up the nose, which triggers the sneeze response as it tickles the hairs.

Answer 6

There's probably something in the air which you are allergic to. We sneeze cos the little hair follicles in our nose get irritated and itch... Your heart skips a beat too.

Answer 7

your heart stops beating when you snezze
