It's possible, but definitely not recommended. A sneeze is supposed to send a certain amount of air through your nose, and the rest is supposed to flow out of your mouth. If you block your mouth, too much air can be forced through your nasal passages, potentially damaging them, along with your ears. It's best to sneeze forcefully and naturally through both your mouth and nose.

How do you keep your eyes open when you sneeze?

NO, of course not! The eyelids have absolutely no effect related to the retention of the eyeballs within their sockets. The retention of the eyeballs is accomplished by several muscles connected to each eyeball and also to each ofthe sockets.j3h. No, the person's eyes don't fall out completely. But they do edge out of the sockets (very slightly) and may be in an uncomfortable position. Still, it's NOT advisable that anyone tries this. It might cause other problems to the eyes, other than their position changing.

How can you make yourself sneeze?

Process 11) Grab a tissue2) Take one of the edges and fold it to a fine point3) Put the point inside your nose, about where the bridge starts4) Wiggle it around until you feel a tickle.5) If it doesn't come right away, KEEP WIGGLING!Process 21) Look at the sun (indirectly). Some people have reported that if they look into bright lights, they will sneeze.A note of interest:17% to 35% of people are "sun sneezers" who have genetically inherited the "photic sneeze" reflex.The trigeminal nerve, which controls sneezing, happens to run right alongside the optic nerve. In some people, over stimulation of the optic nerve "rubs off" on the trigeminal nerve (in the same way that data cables can "crosstalk") and the body mistakenly responds by sneezing.Process 31) Take a whiff of black pepper. Take care not to inhale the stuff, so consider using a fine cover placed over the pepper.Process 41) Get a cup of warm water.2) Dip the end of your nose inside.3) Tilt your head back slightly and breathe in (through the nose) the water.Process 51) Eating strong mintsProcess 61) Licking the roof of your mouthProcess 71) Inhaling cold air2) This can be done if outside is cold, if your in a warm shower and you inhale the cool air outside, or even in the freezer.~ HEALTH WARNING ~Never try and stop or block a sneeze by (for example) holding your nose or covering your mouth when it is "under way" or as its in progress. Doing so can cause serious injury.The force and velocity of the average sneeze - if prevented from ejection from the body - can eventually cause hearing loss and damage the blood vessels in your head, especially if you make a habit of stopping a sneeze when it's already begun.Remember: A typical sneeze can remove air from your body at up to 100mph. Stopping this suddenly is like driving your super car into a solid concrete defense. The car being your health.
