I sneeze really loudly and powerful and often I can’t control it. What makes it worse is, its often sprays a lot of saliva as well. I’m safe most of the time if I can get to my handkerchief or tissue in time. But there are times I have no other option but to let it out. Has anyone found a way to tame it and make it milder or easier to control.
Apparently deaf from birth people don’t make any noise when they sneeze, as they’ve not heard anybody else do it so don’t know they “should”.[1] I’m not a particularly loud sneezer but it strikes me as odd that any noise at all would be learned behaviour.
Some people do make a lot of noise though, to the point where I’m thinking that it can’t all be involuntary.
I heard this from years ago; don’t know how true it is ↩︎
