Why is sneezing so overpowering?

444 views

Other bodily functions do not require us to set aside everything else only to focus on one specific task but in the case of sneezing we have to stop whatever we are doing no matter how important(like driving) we pause it immediately just to sneeze, why ? what is so special about it ?

I’d simplify it down to sneezing being a reflex, largely of of your control.

You’d also need to pull over to (safely) react to a patellar reflex, punching, pinching, flinching, etc. Some more than others, sure, but you don’t want to be doing other things when you don’t have control over your body (when you’re responding via reflex).
