New fear unlocked! Sweet
Don’t stifle your sneezes and you’ll be fine.
Fucking hell that sounds painful
I knew it!
I choose you, Confirmation Bias!
Confirmation Bias used “ignore title before the comma.” It’s super effective!
Right there with you though 😅
My mom only ever holds in sneezes. She says sneezes are disgusting and unnecessary. But I love a good loud sneeze. I don’t think I can hold in a sneeze. I might show her this
Your mom sounds like an idiot
If you’ve ever tried to hold in a sneeze, this new medical case report might make you think twice.
“In world’s 1st known case”
Contrary to what other people seem to take from this, it rather shows how unrisky holding in a sneeze is. If it was significantly dangerous, we’d know more than one case.
I actually had a relative who died from drinking a sip of water from a glass. Got it in the wrong pipe. I still would not warn people from drinking water after I learned about it. Again, after all, the overwhelming majority of evidence points to the opposite; it’s perfectly safe.
It’s not a great comparison, since there is a good alternative to holding in a sneeze, whereas there is no good alternative to drink water.
Well I’m not gonna ever hold a sneeze in ever again, only loud and safe sneezes for me!
