Why do we sneeze so violently? Why often two or three in a row? And what is the science behind the mechanics of sneezing?
In: Biology
Well, the “violent” part should be pretty obvious. We want our sneezes to be strong enough to clear the nasal passageway of the irritant. As for multiple times, this is a combination of the nerves in the nasal passageway still being irritated and an evolutionary trait that encourages sneezing multiple times to *ensure* that the irritant is gone.
