[SCOTTS NO1 FAN EVA]

can you actualy sneeze by looking at a bright light as becky from the show thinks she can.

[Jono]

No - I don't sneeze, I just get a migraine when I look at a light!

[DelDalek]

I sneeze every time I put an Altoid in my mouth!

[KingTutsWWH]

If you feel a sneeze coming on and it doesn't seem to be happening, looking up at a light does appear to work. Well, it does for me anyway.

[MissCorsham]

I always thought that it was just looking up that helped you sneeze when you couldn't. Opens the air ways and all that.

[Nikki]

I sneeze every time I put an Altoid in my mouth!

Sounds painful.

[Viv]

hmmm. It only makes me cross-eyed. :confused:

[Rob]

That's really not healthy as you get black shapes floating around your vision. And in what situation would you find a practical reason where you wanted to sneeze?

[Sam]

if you know you are going to sneeze but for some reason aren't sneezing - looking at a bright light makes you sneeze.

if you're not going to sneeze looking into a bright light won't do anything.

Ahh that'd explain alot. So we don't have to risk migrains to test the theory.

[KingTutsWWH]

I do believe I had mentioned it previously. Pay attention.

[Sam]

I've also heard putting your finger under your nose prevents you sneezing, not sure why it would though...

[Danishgirl]

I've also heard putting your finger under your nose prevents you sneezing, not sure why it would though...

But I does, I always use that. Well, the sneeze will come a bit later anyway, but you can prevent it for the moment. It's not enough to put your finger there, you have to sort of push it against your upper lip right under the nose. You're not supposed to "close" the nostrils or anything. If you do it the right way it works

[Fraz- J]

I think I Agree with Becky coz when I look at A Blue Sky, I always sneeze!

[x_mel_x]

I agree, everytime I look at a bright light or the sun I sneeze.

[Nik B.]

Yeah I sneeze if I accidentally look at the sun, I have no idea why. Luckily theres very little danger of that cos of our Loverly weather!

[Rob]

I tried it last night when I was about to sneeze. Didn't work...

[Kassie]

Looking into the light has always helped me get out that sneeze that just seems to be "stuck" In fact if I'm indoors for a while and walk outside, I usually sneeze at least five times.

I've only ever met one other person that did the same thing, so I'm glad to hear there are more of us out there :

You do this alot? How inconvenient that must be

[Kassie]

It can be. But I think it would be worse to stand there with an odd look on your face and scruntching your nose up saying, "I have to sneeze", and never actually sneezing

Plus, your nose gets all itchy. And thats never fun in public :oops: lol

Yeah I hate that, I always seem to lose my balance when that happens which isn't good if you're in a lift or a train

[Part Time Dave]

I always thought that it was just looking up that helped you sneeze when you couldn't. Opens the air ways and all that.

I think this theory has come from another one, that looking at the sun helps you sneeze - maybe its because the sun makes you shut your eyes (needed for sneezing, otherwise your eyes would pop out) and by looking up, the snot / discomfort moves back down your nostrils, so aggrevating the problem, making your body react.

I love a good sneeze. Infact, I've started saying "Aaa tish ooo" when I do one, I've no idea when this started, or why I do it.
