Coytee Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I'm pretty reliable in that if I sneeze once, I'm going to sneeze a second time 95% of the time....and then I'm done. Rarely do I sneeze a single time and rarely do I sneeze more than twice though both have happened. When I was in elementary school, we'd have belching contests to see who could say the vowels in the alphabet in one continuous exhale. I found it interesting that there were some that were unable to do it. I personally didn't find it a bit of a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieStl Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Tried to avoid this thread but as a triple sneezer, I had to vote so we are represented. Three times, every time (98%+/-) No explanation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you live with yourself for 60years plus, you notice things but I have noticed a pattern for me. Generally 3 times. More than that typically signifies a cold coming on.

garyrc Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 There is erectile tissue in the lining of the nose. Being sexually aroused, consciously or unconsciously, tends to increase the probability of sneezing. Worries about the devil arousing people may have led to the practice of saying, "God bless you" when somebody sneezes. Turbinates are composed of pseudostratified columnar, ciliated respiratory epithelium with a thick, vascular, and erectile glandular tissue layer. ... Each pair is composed of one turbinate in either side of the nasal cavity, divided by the septum.
