Holding a sneeze can be
dangerous.
In
a 2017 article published in BMJ Case Reports researchers reported that a 34-year-old
British man was hospitalized after attempting to contain his sneeze, trapping
air in his trachea and essentially ripping a hole in the soft tissue of his
throat. "Halting sneeze via blocking nostrils and mouth is a dangerous
maneuver," the report says, noting that doing so "should be avoided,
as it may lead to numerous complications."
