The nose produces muccus (aka snot, bogies etc) and this traps the bacteria (you can sometimes notice you get black snot after being in a polluted environment). The cellia cells (nostril hairs) then transport the contaminated muccus to the throat where it is swallowed and taken to the stomach where the low ph number (high acidity) of the stomach kills of the microbes. Hope this was helpful.

Why can't you stop a sneeze?

Sneezing, also called sternutation, is an involuntary, sudden and violent rush of air out through the nose and mouth. The body takes this action to get rid of irritating or harmful objects in the nose. Sneezing aids the body, but can be harmful to other people. For example, the nose fills with congestion that contains germs when a person has a cold. Sneezing helps clear the nose. But unless the sneezer covers the mouth and nose, the germs escape into the air and may infect others.
