Do some of your brain cells die when you sneeze?

Brain cells do NOT die when a person sneezes. First, if you observe a baby and toddler and counted how many times they sneeze before 2 years old, if your question was true, NO one would have a brain left!

When begin the brain-cells to die after no oxygen?

Brain cells begin to die within approximately 4 to 6 minutes after the brain is deprived of oxygen. Without oxygen, brain cells can suffer irreversible damage, leading to significant neurological deficits or death. The extent of damage can increase with longer periods of oxygen deprivation. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to minimize brain injury in such situations.
