Why is it bad to hold in a sneeze?
Holding in a sneeze is like holding down the top of a jack-in-the-box. Why not just let it out? The air expelled by sneezes is said to travel up to 100 miles per hour; holding in a sneeze could cause fractures in the nasal cartilage, nosebleeds, burst eardrums, hearing loss, vertigo or detached retinas. Therefore it is best to let your sneeze fly (yet shielded by a hankie, preferably). Plus, your body is trying to clear out your pharynx-and that's a good thing. To help the sneeze come out, look at a bright light. This stimulates the optic nerve, which crosses wires with the sneeze center. The added irritation of an adjacent nerve will get the sneeze going.

If you sneeze with your eyes open what happens?
It's never been proved because closing your eyes is the natural reflex. However, there's an urban legend stating that if you sneeze with your eyes open, your eyes will be forced out of your head by the extreme force and speed of the sneeze (supposedly over a hundred miles an hour). Don't try this at home! Actually nothing happens when you sneeze with your eyes open. The spray is going outward when you sneeze and won't land on your face or eyes if you try holding your eyes open as you sneeze. Besides, this was tested on Mythbusters of the Discovery Channel when Adam Savage attempted to sneeze with his eyes open: his eyeballs didn't pop out of his head like the urban myth implied. The only thing that happened, especially when viewed on high-speed, was that he looked hilariously foolish sneezing with his eyes open!
Why is a sneeze called a sneeze?
Because when you sneeze the sound you make is "SNEEZE!" ^No, it really isn't. I've not heard one person say "SNEEZE" when they sneeze, ever in my life. I've heard people say "Achoo", "Atishoo" and other ones, but never "SNEEZE".
