I Have No Mouth and I Must Sneeze.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Closing your mouth or nose during a sneeze increases the pressure in the airways five to 20 times more than a normal sneeze. With no escape, this pressure has to be transmitted elsewhere and that can damage your eyes, ears or blood vessels. Though the risk is low, brain aneurysm, ruptured throat and collapsed lung have been reported.

I've escaped death numerous times it seems. I would say I've stared death in the eyes, but you can't do that when you sneeze.

Oh shit. My pollen allergy in spring is a death trap.
