Why is sneezing so overpowering?

466 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 ?

the main reason behind sneezing is to expel air/mucus from the lungs that is suspected to have foreign particles or irritants in it. and because the mucus is heavier than other body fluids it must be overpowering. also it’s a reflexive response involving the face, throat and chest muscles.
