Man Holds in Sneeze Tears His Windpipe
In the News
The next time you want to repress that sneeze you need to think twice
This poor man managed to tear open his windpipe by holding his nose and mouth closed while sneezing because he was driving
I have done this myself , repressed a sneeze while driving as it could cause you to lose control of the car , you tend to shut your eyes when you sneeze
I find it worse when the sun is shining a lot through the windscreen , it seems to trigger an itch then a sneeze
I did read somewhere that saying 'pickles' can stop you from sneezing
I may give that a try next time, it might get me out of a pickle, not to be sneezed at !

SNEEZLES by A.A Milne
Christopher Robin
Had wheezles
And sneezles,
They bundled him
Into
His bed.
They gave him what goes
With a cold in the nose,
And some more for a cold
In the head.
They wondered
If wheezles
Could turn
Into measles,
If sneezles
Would turn
Into mumps;
They examined his chest
For a rash,
And the rest
Of his body for swellings and lumps.
They sent for some doctors
In sneezles
And wheezles
To tell them what ought
To be done.
All sorts and conditions
Of famous physicians
Came hurrying round
At a run.
They all made a note
Of the state of his throat,
They asked if he suffered from thirst;
They asked if the sneezles
Came after the wheezles,
Or if the first sneezle
Came first.
They said, "If you teazle
A sneezle
Or wheezle,
A measle
May easily grow.
But humour or pleazle
The wheezle
Or sneezle,
The measle
Will certainly go."
They expounded the reazles
For sneezles
And wheezles,
The manner of measles
When new.
They said "If he freezles
In draughts and in breezles,
Then PHTHEEZLES
May even ensue."
Christopher Robin
Got up in the morning,
The sneezles had vanished away.
And the look in his eye
Seemed to say to the sky,
"Now, how to amuse them to-day?
MelissaLee1 ....Wow, that's brilliant, thank you for having the patience to type all of that out,especially at that late hour!
telmel When I get on an airplane I do something similar and pop my ears to settle gravity lol.I think I popped my brains a good while since T.
and so I will try not hold my sneezes in anymore at work lol..When you're a lady over 50 and you sneeze it's not usually stitches you're worried about lol.
MelissaLee1 I know that feeling well and I have a cold at the moment. It’s not just sneezing but coughing too 
They do say your eyes can pop out if you hold your nose and mouth then sneeze. I always thought it was just something people said
