> ‘sneeze neurons’ in the nasal passages relay sneeze signals to the brain

Not sure if related, but I found that pinching my nose often aborts an incoming sneeze.

Tickling the roof of your mouth with your tongue also seems to stop incoming sneezes for a lot of people.

If your body says you should sneeze why do you think you know better? You probably have something to push out, no?

In a crowd. Holding a sleeping baby. Sneaking past a security guard....

Mouth full of partially chewed carrot...

You always must sneeze into your chelidon / reverse elbow so the crowd one I disagree. The other two you got me there.

Then you get snot on your shirt sleeve.

That's the point, instead of everywhere.

Despite Hideo Kojima's best efforts for realism, Solid Snake never developed a hacking cough

Does that apply to the bowels too? The body isn't that smart...

I mean, yeah? I don’t really see a situation where it’s better to ignore your bowels wanting to push something out?
