Kudryavka Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 A bit of a strange post, and I'm unsure if this is the right section, but I was reading the news this morning and came across this PSA... https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/01/16/578410729/man-ruptures-his-throat-by-stifling-a-big-sneeze-prompting-doctors-warning Valuable both as a healthy caution to those of us who stifle, as well as a source of deliciousness for those of us who enjoy such a delicate topic being discussed so publicly...

Just Older Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It was quite interesting listening to the morning radio shows after that news came out. Wow. Never heard so many announcers talking about their sneezing habits before. Link to comment
brokensneeze Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It seems to only apply to stifling that involves holding the nose and mouth closed from the outside, not to holding one's breath or closing the throat like when swallowing. Link to comment
SneezySal Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 For those, like me, who like unstifled sneezes, this could be a deterrent to the people who currently do stifle. Link to comment
