Sneeze and infidelity

In Mexico, there is a myth which considers that sneezing could mean that your partner is experiencing an orgasm. That is why sometimes we recommend a person who sneezes to call-up him or her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.248.113.57 (talk) 23:43, 18 July 2005

Ungrammatical sentence?

This sentence under "Folk Remedies" seems very ungrammatical to me. I'm not sure I even understand what it says: "Rather than looking up, do not think of looking down or closing eyes (try thinking of looking up with your eyes but not your head but do not follow through), when used in conjunction with the belief this will work no matter how far into the act of sneezing, the desire and follow through of sneezing will astoundingly abate with unavoidable consistency." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.70.188.26 (talk) 16:58, 27 April 2007

Sneezing and sleep

This article says sneezing cannot occur during sleep, but could add that sneezing can occur when one is in bed. Vorbee (talk) 18:23, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:Sneeze.JPG to appear as POTD soon

You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-02-04.

Picture of the day

A sneeze is a convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth, usually caused by foreign particles irritating the nasal mucosa. Sneezing expels air forcibly from the mouth and nose in an explosive, spasmodic involuntary action resulting chiefly from irritation of the nasal mucous membrane. It may be linked to sudden exposure to bright light, sudden change in temperature, a particularly full stomach, or viral infection, and can lead to the spread of disease.Photograph: James Gathany/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
