Usually when I try to stop a sneeze I end up with a questionable fart. With this in mind I think I’ll just sneeze from now on. Dire consequences and such.
If you must stop a sneeze, pinch the corners of your eyes near the tear ducts. This will flush your sinuses a bit and likely clear whatever tickling twinge is about to make you sneeze.
This frightens me because I've had considerable pain in my throat from trying to stifle a sneeze. I never realized I could actually hurt myself doing that.
You can also hurt yourself by holding your urine in for too long. If your body needs to get something out, you should probably let it do so. Maybe find a restroom first....
Well, at least the injury wasn’t severe. Now people who have read this story understand that not letting a massive pressure buildup escape your body is a bad thing.
yeah I have tried to stop a sneeze but not by physically grabbing myself. Whats so bad about a sneeze to go thorugh that? Usually im just trying to hold it off while I get my mouth pointing toward my armpit or elbow.
