drsn Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I find that seeing someone sneeze can sometimes makes me sneeze, kind of like when people yawn. Anyone else experience this? Link to comment
Melody Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 not me, but super interesting! Link to comment
emma Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Yes! Every so often, it happens to me! :) Link to comment
Just Older Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Sometimes when watching videos, it does. Not quite similar to a yawn. It has to be many many sneezes. Link to comment
rysosneezy Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 It doesn’t necessarily make me want to sneeze, but sometimes it makes me want to induce myself later Link to comment
SneezeFae Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Oh my gosh yes! Sometimes if I am reading sneeze related things on the forum or hear someone sneeze for a while, I tend to sneeze a little! Link to comment
RosieB Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 This is one of those things that sounds like it's not real. Then again contagious yawning is a thing so. Hey maybe it works for sneezing. Link to comment
solitaire-au Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 It’s possible. Certain emotions can cause the nasal membranes to shrink or swell and trigger sneezing as a result. If someone were to see other people sneeze, experience those emotions and have their nasal membranes affected as a result, it could happen like a cascade effect. Kind of like honeymoon rhinitis where some people sneeze as a result of being sexually aroused first. https://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/everyday-myths/sneeze-with-eyes-open.htm Link to comment
kiku Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Actually, what happens to me sometimes is I type the word "sneeze" into the search engine and - sneeze. 🤣 Link to comment
Femilloween77 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 It can happen to me! But mostly if I think about sneezes a lot, rather than by witnessing other people sneeze, I think. Link to comment
MyOwnPrivateSFC Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I don’t sneeze from seeing other people sneeze, but I do sneeze from thinking about sneezing. Case in point: I sneezed literally in between typing in the web address to come here a minute ago, and hitting “enter” for it to go through. Link to comment
Justasneezygirl Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Every so often this happens and I wonder what the chances are! Link to comment
NoV Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I am not a particularly sneezy person, but I am sure I sneeze more than my average when I am browsing the Forum or looking at other sneeze-related material online. Maybe it's just that I notice it more, but there does seem to be an odd correlation for me between seeing sneezing and sneezing myself... Link to comment
