#Did you know? You could die from suppressing a sneeze

According to the website, Deecan Chronicles, halting a sneeze via blocking the nostrils and mouth is a dangerous manoeuvre that should be avoided.

In an attempt to suppress a sneeze you could rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.

This act can also rupture your throat, burst an eardrum, or pop a blood vessel in your brain. So the next time you want to sneeze, just cover your nose with a handkerchief.
