Veda #23 : Sneeze It!

Day 23
Question by : Me - "why can't we open our eyes whenever we sneeze?"

It really cold tonight, rain all day long, and i just sneeze several minutes ago. Darn it was very good and relieving... . But some facts stated that you can't sneeze with your eyes open, and some said that if you forced to open your eyes whenever you sneeze, your eyes will pop out because of the strong reaction from sneezing. is that true?

Sneezing in your body's way of getting rid of an irritation in your nose. Your nose is a sensitive organ,so all sorts of things might irratate it.
Sneezing is a reflex and so is closing our eyes. We have no control over whether or not we close our eyes when we sneeze. Some people don’t have reflex, so when they sneeze then their eyes won’t close. Some people try to close their eyes so when they sneeze their eyes won’t pop out. Your eyes don’t really pop out.

So why did we close our eyes?according to research, Sneezing is our body reaction to prevent bacteria entering our body, so whenever we sneeze, our body reflex shutting our eyesto prevent germs and bacterias entering through our eyes. As we may know, a sneeze is a kind of bodywide reflex in which a LOT of muscles contract, not just in the nose and throat but also the entire face, those in the diaphragm, the abdomen, thighs, back, which is why some people with stress incontinence may urinate slightly when they sneeze
