Why Do We Sneeze?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Irritants
Have you ever accidentally put too much pepper on your dinner only for it to get up your nose and cause you to start sneezing? Pepper is a stereotypical example but there are many others that will have the same effect. It can be quite uncomfortable at times, potentially causing sneezing fits that are out of control.
Sneezing fits that are caused by irritants can be very frustrating. The good news, however, is that they are unlikely to last for long. Once the irritant has been removed then the patient should stop sneezing. Just be sure that the irritant is no longer present to bother them again.
