🤧 Why do we sneeze?

When your nose feels tickly, you sneeze! 🤧 It's like your body's way of saying, "Hey, something is bothering me!" Maybe it's dust, pepper, or a tiny bug trying to sneak in. Your nose works like a superhero to blow it all away with a big ACHOO!

It's totally normal and helps keep you healthy! 🌟

Sneezing is your body's way of protecting you! 🛡️ When dust, pollen, or germs try to enter your nose, your brain says, "Nope!" and sends a signal to sneeze them out. It's like a tiny explosion of air that pushes the invaders away!

Fun fact: Your eyes close automatically when you sneeze—it's your body's reflex to keep germs from flying into them! 👀

How it works:

• Irritants (like pepper) tickle your nose.
• Your brain tells your lungs to take a deep breath.
• Then—BOOM!—air blasts out to clean your nose!

Sneezing is a powerful reflex controlled by your nervous system! 🧠 When irritants (like pollen, dust, or viruses) touch the sensitive lining of your nose, nerve signals rush to your brain. The brain then orders your chest muscles, diaphragm, and throat to forcefully expel air—up to 100 mph!—to clear the nasal passages.

Why it matters:

• Defense mechanism: Sneezing removes harmful particles before they reach your lungs.
• Contagious? Yes! Germs spread through droplets, so always cover sneezes.
• Photic sneeze reflex: Some people sneeze in bright sunlight—it’s genetic! ☀️

Fun fact: Holding in a sneeze can be dangerous—it might hurt your eardrums or even (rarely) burst a blood vessel!
