Loud and powerful sneezers, have you figured out a way to tame your sneezes?
Loud and powerful sneezers, have you figured out a way to tame your sneezes?
I sneeze really loudly and powerful and often I can't control it. What makes it worse is, its often sprays a lot of saliva as well. I'm safe most of the time if I can get to my handkerchief or tissue in time. But there are times I have no other option but to let it out. Has anyone found a way to tame it and make it milder or easier to control.

Breathe out before the sneeze. It will be much less powerful when you aren't squeezing your maximum lung capacity out through your nose and mouth.
Thats a real pro tip right here Been doing it like that for years and I am a full time allergician
Wow, didn't know you could graduate as an Allergician! Nature is amazing 🤣
That’s interesting. Never heard of this before. Gonna see if I’m actually able to next time I need to sneeze. I almost feel like the deep inhale before a sneeze is involuntary but we’ll see…
Makes sense. Gonna try this the next time..
Edit : Just sneezed. There's a problem. Just as I'm about to sneeze I breath in. I'll need to use a lot of force in a short time to exhale any air. Am I doing it wrong?
I don't exhale, rather I just close off my airway to stop the big inhale. It sounds super uncomfortable to try exhaling at that point, but with some practice I have been able to stop the inhale and that mutes the sneeze considerably. Also, I can plug my nose when I feel it start to tickle and stop the sneeze entirely.
And this won’t rip my diaphragm?
