To be fair, no one should hold in their sneezes.

Still, sneezing into a tissue (or at least the sleeve) is just good manners.
Explode away!

Bold of you to assume that I know that I’m going to sneeze 50ms before I’m going to sneeze

Fortunately you don’t need to!
Upon sneeze initiation of non-voluntary inhalation and the iconic “Ah-” you can consciously react with a valsalva maneuver
*of the airway by retracting your tongue up toward your nasopharynx - try it now while exhaling, and if done correctly your exhale should be fully blocked and you’ll feel a slight pressure increase in your head. Doing this after that inhalation portion of a sneeze will similarly block the “-choo!” half, keeping the air and slurry of snot and pathogens all internal, at the cost of making yourself subtable to the consequences listed in OP’s article.*not to be confused with a valsalva maneuver of the GI tract, which can cause hernias and a vasovagal response that dips your blood pressure and can make you pass outWereCat@lemmy.world 2 days ago
