What makes you sneeze the most?

[TheSneezeGirl]

Basically what it says. Is it allergies? Or are you naturally sneezy? Or is there something you use to induce that really makes you sneeze?

 

I seem to have developed allergies as I’ve gotten older, and I think I’ve just become quite sneezy. I used to have a really good mental block but now my sneezes are so strong that I can’t hold them back. Which I find super embarrassing in public as I usually do about 6 at a time. It’s rough.

Great topic! I’m not a naturally sneezy person and I don’t have allergies. I also don’t have much success inducing with Q-tips, pepper/chili powder, or tissues. However, inducing with paper towels can bring on multiple sneezes because of the rough texture.

I’m not naturally a very sneezy individual either and I’ve never had any luck with pepper, it just burns like mad. I don’t have any allergies or not sneezing ones anyway, I can get 2 or 3 holding a vibrating toothbrush to my nose, I’m usually able to get about 7-10 sneezes out using a rolled up Kleenex or with a Qtip, I have slightly better results using oral-B super floss dental floss strands as suggested by another forum user (thank you! Though I can’t remember your name at the moment!) but the thing that makes me sneeze most is chhinkni. It’s incredible stuff! I’ve only used it once since I just got it recently and I’m planning on making a post describing my first experience with it and asking some questions soon but I probably got 20-30 in one fit. So yeah that’s me 😊

Thank you! I’ve never had much luck with inducing! I’ll have to try paper towels and see!

Oh wow I can’t wait to hear about that! I’ve never tried chhinkni!

I’ve found today that stepping bare foot on to a cold floor can make me sneeze several times

That’s so interesting! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that as a cause, I love it. 

For me, chhinkni can most reliably induce a fit—but if my animal allergies are set off just right, I’ll sneeze pretty regularly for like an hour. This especially happens when I forget to take Claritin and I’m around a dog (I can’t bring myself to NOT play and cuddle with dogs).
 

I usually try to fight off the sneezing as long as possible in these situations because I know once I start, I’ll never stop because any breathing (even through my mouth) tickles my nose and makes me start sneezing all over again 😅

It may just have been a coincidence I don’t know!

 

oh poor you! It must be awful for you but it sounds amazing! I love a sneezing fit, even my own ones

Pepper.  No question.  Definitely my Achilles heel!

 

Doesn’t stop me from cooking with it though!

I get really bad hayfever, which for me is sadly all year round. Its much worse in some parts of year than others and if I take antihistamine during the not so bad parts of the year, i'm completely fine. But no matter how much antihistamine I take pre and during the bad parts of the year it always gets me, and this is usually when I most sneezy, accompanied with coughing, sore throat, runny nose and all the works. But normally I don't sneeze much and I can go several days without sneezing which kinda sucks.  though I make up for it during hayfever season 😅
