STOP A SNEEZE

Some people believe that saying an odd word right as you feel you’re about to sneeze distracts you from sneezing.

Evidence for this tip is entirely anecdotal, but just as you’re gearing up to sneeze, say something like “pickles.”

Sneezes are caused by irritants in your nose and sinuses. When you feel like you’re about to sneeze, try blowing your nose.

You might be able to blow out the irritant and deactivate the sneeze reflex. Keep a box of soft tissues with lotion at your desk or a travel pack in your BAG


This is another method for trying to stifle a sneeze just before it happens. When you feel a sneeze coming on, try pinching your nose at the nostrils, like you might if something smelled bad.

You can also try pinching your nose near the very top, just below the inside of your eyebrows.
