It’s all about 260mph!

sneezingIf I tell you that a person can produce a forced air flow more than 260mph! Not all of you but most of you will laugh at me. But it is possible…really I tell you. I’m not kidding. Its sneezing-“Aachchoooo”-the blasting noise; and also nice refreshing physical response sometimes…

Sneezing is a very common nerve stimulating response. If you always try to muffle, sometimes you will have to be louder. Sometimes you can’t but to sneeze.

The inner layer of our nose is very soft and highly sensitive. There are nerve roots opened up there. When any tiny particle enters, it touches the sensitive area and you sneeze. By sneezing upper respiratory passage is kept cleared from any type of foreign substances which can be harmful to lower respiratory tract as well as for the whole body. The total procedure includes the muscles of face, throat, neck and entire lung.

Sometimes some disease conditions can cause sneezing, like common cold. In this situation the soft inner layer of the nose swollen and become very hypersensitive due to viral infection that a very super fine sensation can cause vigorous sneezing. Beside this, environmental conditions like excessive cold or excessive hot are also responsible to tickle the nasal nerves. The most interesting cause is photic reflex. That means reflex due to sunlight-when you are out to direct sunlight. If photic reflex cause you to sneeze once or twice, then it’s ok, but if it continues, then it is really embarrassing.

Furthermore, if you suffer from chronic photic reflex, it forces you to sneeze in a row. Sometimes bad odor may come out which can bother surrounding people.

Sneezing can be dangerously infectious. About 52,000 aerosol droplets propelled out at a speed of more than 260mph into the surrounding air with a tremendous force. Can you imagine how far it can go? Raising brows? Dont do that; it’s not the funny thing.

Only by this way air borne infectious diseases are being spread every year around the world.

So, sneezing is very much harmful, it can infect others…all of us should stifle sneezing…No and never. Please don’t do this. Because research showed the force created during sneezing, if you try to stifle it can cause permanent damage to your eardrum, even to minute blood vessels inside the brain which can even lead to death.

So first of all you should not stifle sneezing. But if it is urgent, just keep hold your breathing for a few moments after making your lung empty. The sensation will go.

You can do treatment for the cause creating continuous sneezing. The best way you can do, is to do a gentle method of sneezing-that is putting a tissue on your face, fold it up and through away to dustbin. By doing so, you can protect the spreading of 52000 infectious aerosol droplets and protect your surroundings.
