Why Do We Sneeze? 🤧

Morning Sneezers!

Why do we… 

Sneeze??

Lol.

Well, look:

If some little dust particles get all up in your nose, your nose hairs start wigglin about all over them.

You know, just feeling em up.

But then they’re like:

Uh oh, they just identified the dust as an intruder!

So they shoot a message up the trigeminal cranial nerve to the brain’s sneeze center.

(That’s a real thing by the way)

This then triggers…. THE SNEEZE RESPONSE!

Basically, your lungs suddenly start to pull in air…

Making you go:

Then your chest muscles suddenly… CONTRACT!

Which Squeezes your lungs and forces the air, and any intruders, out of your nose at almost 100 miles per hour!!

But we’re not done yet!

Remember those tiny nose hairs?

After you sneeze, they keep wiggling…

But why? 

We just got rid of the intruder particle…

Well, it turns out they do this to give the nose a good spring cleaning.

The wiggling kinda acts like a broom…

Sweeping any other unwanted particles like mucus and bacteria out of the nose!

But this can also cause…

Another sneeze, Lol.
