A sneeze pushes air out of our bodies at 100 mph. That's a pretty alarming speed for a simple sneeze! Still, that explains why you wouldn't want to stop a sneeze that's starting. If a sneeze is on its way out, don't hold it in or plug your nose, you could really hurt yourself, and cause serious problems over time. Here is a great collection of techniques that stop a sneeze from coming on. Here are a few of the ones that stood out to me.

• Press your tongue firmly behind your front teeth. Hold it there.
• At the first sign of a sneeze, pinch the tip of your nose.
• With the tip of your tongue, tickle the roof of your mouth. The sneezing sensation will disappear in about 10 seconds.
• Think dark: Just as staring into bright light can make you sneeze, looking at a big dark area will help suppress the sneeze.

A sneeze at the wrong time can be embarrassing. Use some of these tips to avoid having a sneeze attach over Thanksgiving dinner or in an important presentation.

If you see a friend about to let one go, yell "pineapple" or some other random word. They might think you've completely lost your mind, but they will have forgotten about the need to sneeze.
