Why is it that when you sneeze your nasal contents is 100mph?
When you sneeze, your body expels air from the lungs forcefully through the nose and mouth to clear irritants from the nasal passages. This rapid expulsion can create a high-velocity stream of air, reaching speeds of up to 100 mph. The pressure built up in the respiratory system during a sneeze is what propels the nasal contents at such high speeds, effectively dispersing droplets that can carry pathogens. This mechanism serves as a natural defense to expel foreign particles and prevent infection.
