Why Do We Sneeze?

Have you ever sneezed and someone said, “Bless you!”? Sneezing can be funny, loud, or even surprise you — but do you know why we sneeze?

Let’s find out what’s really going on inside your nose!

😮 Your Nose Is a Super Sniffer

Your nose is like a superhero guard. It helps you smell things, but it also protects your body. When you breathe in, your nose checks the air for anything bad — like dust, pollen, smoke, or tiny germs.

If something sneaky tries to get in, your nose says, “No way!” — and boom! You sneeze it out!

💨 Sneezing Is a Nose Explosion (But in a Good Way)

When your nose gets tickled or irritated, your body sends a super-fast signal to your brain. Your brain says, “Let’s clean this up!” Then:

✅ You take a deep breath

✅ Your chest muscles get ready

✅ You blast air out of your nose at super speed!

That’s a sneeze — a quick way to push out the bad stuff!

Sometimes even bright sunlight or pepper can make you sneeze. Every sneeze can travel as fast as a race car — up to 100 miles per hour! 💨😲

So remember:

Sneezing is your body’s way of saying, “Get out, germs!” So always cover your nose and mouth, and wash your hands after — just like a sneeze superhero! 🦸‍♂️😷
