Hey Guys!!! I hope the Coffee Maker Tips was fun. If you missed it then you can click here to view the post. Have you ever wondered why our sneezes come in twos or threes or sometimes even 10 times?Sneezes never seem to be lonely. As soon as you expel your first mighty "achoo", there's usually another one lurking right behind to follow it up.
Usually, sneezes are initiated when a foreign particle or external stimulant enters your snout, reaching the nasal mucosa. "This triggers a release of histamines, which irritate nerve cells in the nose", Dawn Zacharias, an allergist at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, tells Popular Science. He also said that this activates and results in the sneeze. It's a powerful release of air, expelling what's in the nose that causes the irritation.
However, if the irritant is still lingering in your nostrils after a sneeze, your nose is going to give it another go. So a second sneeze means that your first sneeze didn't do its job. It explains why people with allergies seem to constantly be reaching for a handkerchief. "We're trying to clear whatever is in our nasal passages, so people with allergies will sneeze more often, because that allergen is still around", says Zacharias.
All this implies that for the mega-sneezer, who sneezes like 10 to 15 times in a row, does not pack the same punch as yours. "Depending on how the nerves are hardwired, it may mean her sneezes are not as forceful to expel whatever is irritating the person", Zacharias said. If that's the case, try to rub your nose or plug your nose. That way you can manually remove the allergen.
