Why do I always sneeze when I get out of the shower?

[Ali Marie]

I do it alot & I don't have water in my nose. I don't sneeze like 1 or 2 times ethier, its more like, 4 or 5 times. Its so strange!

Does anyone else do this?

[VoOs]

I don't do this, but it's not unheard of.

Temperature change, would be my guess. *nod*

Temperature change, like VoOs said, or the change of humidity in the air, I believe.

[ishoo]

that happens to me when I come out of the shower too...the cause could be a number of things such as the strong scent from the lather of shampoo or soaps/body washes you use that you nasally inhale a bit of, or even the hot steam could find its way to the nasal passages and make your nose tickle. I think it's because of the soaps/shampoos, but the temperature change could also be a factor; i like it hot when im in the shower, and when I step out, it's freezing cold, and we know that the cold air around us could cause us to sneeze sometimes. So whatever causes us to sneeze out of the shower, i'm not too positive, but if we ever want to induce and we don't feel like doing it a certain way...take a shower! =)

Alexandra, I have had EXACTLY the same thing for as long as I can remember. Around four or five sneezes as I step out of the shower. I've always assumed, like other posters, that it has something to do with temperature and humidity. It doesn't change with any way based on the bath products (or lack thereof) I'm using so I've ruled that out. Here's a question.Does it happen to you only in the morning, or whenever you shower at all?

This use to happen to me a few years ago, but sadly has ceased

[Anya]

Uhm-hmm.

I do this as well. Probably a combination of the temperature change and florescent lighting.

This happens to me too, I think it's the temperature change.
