The peak force of a sneeze as it explodes from your mouth and nose is similar to that of a fire hose. The respiratory droplets are sent flying at a speed that is just over 100 mph in many cases, and on average these are flung about a 12 foot distance from you, but sometimes as far as 16 feet. They are surprisingly powerful.

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".

Why do you never sneeze just one time?

Some people only sneeze once. Like me but my sneeze is a scream. I sneeze from my throat so that is probably why I only sneeze once. When you sneeze it is normally because your nasal passages are filled with mucus and your body is trying to remove it. When you sneeze multiple times it is just a reaction. Have you noticed if someone tickles your nose or you look at the sun you sneeze? After one sneeze some people have that tickle feeling so they sneeze repeatedly.


Why does your body ache after you sneeze?

When you sneeze, it takes all of the strength of your diaphragm. It is one of the only times when the full strength of the diaphragm is actually used. It also requires support from your abdominal muscles and perenial muscles, which help to give the diaphragm support and "leverage" for lack of a better word. A sneeze usually comes out around 100 miles an hour. This takes an enormous amount of strength. This can cause the muscles in your perineum to ache afterwards, especially if you have just had an orgasm or done anything else that uses those muscles. Try kegel excersizes to prevent this by strengthening these muscles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kegel_exercises Wikipedia page on sneezing (be sure to check the discussion page): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneeze -DJ Craig
