if you hold it you can kill brain cells. but I have heard of all sorts of other things happening - pulled muscles, somebody's Dad had a partially torn retina ( you bet: my nextdoor neighbor again!), rib injuries, broken teeth, etc, but sneezing is not generally a cause of death.

Is it possible to open your eyes when I sneeze And why?

It is not impossible to open them when you sneeze. But if you force your eyes open during a sneeze it could pop them out of socket. The cause of this is that, when you sneeze you have air coming out of you at a speed of 90 mph, so it has the power to pop you eyes out of socket.

A sneeze is completely involuntary and cannot be stopped. A cough reflex is also involuntary, but it is sometimes possible to "hold it in". Coughing comes from the lungs while sneezing comes from the nose.


Can you sneeze and not blink?

The fact is you can go search every where and ask any one but blinking your eyes while you sneeze is a natural body reaction. When you see a bright light you sneeze and your eyes close so that they can shut longer than when you blink so you won't hurt your eyes . As much as you try not to blink you cant because when you sneeze your entire body shuts down for that time so your eyes close as well. Another reason why you naturally blink when you sneeze is that if you did not blink while sneezing, your eyes would pop out.

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.
