Did you know?

That stifling your sneeze is harmful?

"Suppressing a sneeze can be harmful, particularly to your ears...
Studies have found that the air expelled during a sneeze travels at an
amazing 100 miles per hour, and spews out up to 5,000 droplets, which
may be propelled up to 12 feet in a single sneeze.... By clamping your
mouth closed an pinching your nose shut, you force the "sneeze" into
the eustachian tube (which connects the back of the throat to the
middle ear) and then to your eardrum. Sneeze strong enough, and you
could rupture an eardrum, causing acute pain, infection, bleeding, and
even hearing loss."

"The chances of your getting a brain aneurysm from a sneeze, stifled
or otherwise, are pretty slim. But it could happen. ... Is suppressing
a sneeze bad? Could be, due to something called the Valsalva maneuver,
better known as a way of relieving pain in the ears caused by a rapid
change in elevation. While pinching your nostrils shut, you blow into
your nose hard. This opens the Eustachian tubes connecting your inner
ear with your throat and equalizes the pressure on either side of your
eardrums. But because the Valsalva maneuver increases pressure in the
chest, it also briefly blocks the blood flow entering the heart,
causing a sharp fluctuation in blood pressure. Conceivably this could
cause an aneurysm to rupture."(The Straight Dope: Archives)

When you stifle a sneeze, you can
prevent the clearance of the germs or irritants from your body and
increase your needs to keep sneezing or develop an infection. So stifling a sneeze out of politeness may do more harm than good. As for me,I'm gonna let it all out!

Well.. there you go.. people always think of manners and manners it should be.
I think sometimes manners have to be reconsidered. Why?
We think that sneezing out louds is considered as no manners, that's why
instead of letting 'em (the sneeze out) people keep it in.

I've always wonder.. since air does goes to your ear to balance the pressure in
your body.. would it kindda blow your brains out of it? If we try to stifle our sneeze.
Hehe.. just some thoughts..

Anywoo.. I've been freaking sneezing for the like.. 10 hours now..

I think.. I blew a tiny winny bit of my brain out..feeling all head achy now..
