Hate Sneezing...

Argh................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sneezing again!!!!n times in this month....sorry jecy.....i know you hate the sound...but no choice....the nose is out of control...A-A-A-CHI....!!!LOL...


Sneezing, also known as sternation, used to be considered as the body driving out evil spirits.


Up to 37 percent of individuals have a trait which causes sneezing triggered by sudden exposure to bright light, particularly that of the Sun, as well as the customary irritation of the mucosa – a response known as the photic sneeze reflex.

I don't think this is related to me though....


>>Traditional Responses to a Sneeze<<
In English-speaking countries, a common response to a sneeze by those around is "God bless you", or more commonly just "Bless you". The origins and purpose of this tradition are unknown, and several competing explanations have been proposed over time; (1) Preventing the soul from departing one's body, as explained in the "Beliefs and Cultural Aspects" section above; (2) An effort to prevent possible death due to a lethal disease such as the plague pandemics of the fourteenth century. Today, it is said mostly in the spirit of good manners. In various other cultures, words referencing good health or a long life are used instead of "Bless you".

I normally say "Excuse me"...don't know why...Mum taught...lolx




>>Does the heart stop when we sneeze?<<
There is a common belief that the heart stops whenever we sneeze. It does not although it can feel like your heart changes beat. Positive pressure is created in the chest when we sneeze (or cough). Known as the Valsalva manoeuvre, it is this positive chest pressure that can create the myth that the heart stops.

Omg...how many times had my heart stopped...
