Sawdust Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Hello fellow fetishists, was wondering does chewing mint gum make anyone sneeze? My friend in high school once mentioned this and at the time I never noticed, but after having a flashback and a few gum chewing sessions later I can confirm I definitely will sneeze once or twice upon that first burst of mint flavour.The other day I was working and had to cut ivy and mint around an old building and the mint didn't make me sneeze, so it appears to be only orally I have a reaction. Either that or gum uses artificial flavouring I am not sure.
FreeFluShots Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Yes, this happens to me too! But it only works with peppermint, not spearmint (how's that for irony, LOL)
Heathcliff Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Yes- a strong mint, or some menthol chewing gum has made me sneeze in the past. If I breathed out gently through my nose, the flavour of the mint or the menthol caused enough of an irritation to reliably produce one sneeze. I suppose it would still work now, but for some reason I never fancy mints or gum these days.
Spoo Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 This happens to me frequently! Not so much with gum (though it has happened before) but with those Listerine PocketPaks? The breath strips? Oh man, I'm guaranteed at least one sneeze just by letting them dissolve on my tongue (more sneezes if I stifle the first ).
Sawdust Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Good to see it is a trait that is shared. It is just another little quirk to add to my fetish.

Sawdust Posted June 29, 2014 Author Posted June 29, 2014 Some day we will get a medical expert in here and explain these shenanigans and odd food-induced sneezing.
