I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but why do I get into a sneezing fit after I brush my teeth?

Because you are allergic to peppermint as many people are.\nGo to a health store and ask for a non-peppermint toothpaste.

I'm allergic to something that no doctor has yet been able to figure out.  It strikes me at the worst times (usually when I'm eating or drinking) and it was extremely hard to control.  What I've learned to do is to hold a piece of ice to the top of my mouth with my tounge.  If you press the ice firmly enough to the roof of your mouth the sneezing should stop (at least, it does with my sneezing).

its possible that when you sneeze, your eyes close reflexively, to prevent your eyes from getting contaminated by whatever is coming out of your nose and mouth.  As well, the urge to sneeze (that tingling feeling in your nose) may play a part, due to the optic nerves for your eyes laying close to the nerves for your nose and recieveing some residual signal...

When people sneeze, they tense up thus their muscles put a strain on their joints.  This is actually one of the reasons people in car accidents get broken bones.  Not because of the actual crash, but because of tensing their muscles which result in the muscles breaking the drivers own bones.  Also the fact that you pop a lot of your joints doesn't help.

Many people thought that sneeze is impolite, it's true if you do it on purpose. But it is natural and it is good because when you sneeze bacteria that try to come inside your lung will come out. Try to cover your mouth and nose when you feel, you will sneeze.

No. What are doing right before you sneeze? Taking in short breaths of air before finally sneezing.

We do not know exactly why this happens, but it might reflect a "crossing" of pathways in the brain, between the normal reflex of the eye in response to light and the sneezing reflex.\n\nClick below for a FULL explination

My throat does that from allergic reactions. It's annoying, isn't? I usually get an allergic asthma attack soon after because I breath in the allergen after it hits my throat. That wouldn't happen to you if you weren't susceptible to asthma. \n\nIt doesn't mean you are putting inappropriate things in your mouth. If it's allergic, it simply means you are breathing. Your nose and mouth are connected so it could happen in your throat if you aren't breathing through your mouth. It could be indoors or outside depending on what you may be allergic to (like dust or pollen).

i hope this will suffice...\nwhen microscopic particles that are introduced into your nasal passage irritate the sinus cavity you feel a tingly or ticklish, itchy\nsensation which can sometimes be accompanied by a sneeze.\nwhen that occurs, it's your bodies' natural defenses that are, and I quote, "fighting back" with antibodies to "kick out" the uninvited host (or hosts) of germs that attack (the microscopic particles mentioned earlier)...\nthanks for your time.\nquote "

i was told its because the eyes start to water, and this gets the sinuses moving\n\nheres a blog with a lil more info..quoted..\n\n"The sudden exposure to bright light sends a signal through the optic nerve fibers. These fibers run close to and into the same hub as the trigeminal nerve. The second division of the trigeminal nerve supplies sensory fibers to the nasal mucosa. The assumption is that nerve impulses in the optic nerve cause a sympathetic discharge in the trigeminal nerve fibers. which produces the sneezing."

Mine does that too...don't know why we do it...maybe to close off our mouth as an airway?

Changes in breathing (rapid inhalation/exhalation) and heart-rate might be linked to it somehow. That might explain the venous involvement...something to do with circulation perhaps which is aggravated by the sneezing fit?

This is due to your bodies own response to the allergens, dirt, and dust in the air.  The more that you are exposed to--the more your nose has to "evacuate" through the production of nasal secretions (i.e. boogers).  \n\nThere are little hairs in your  nose called cilia that gather all the dust and dirt etc. (sort of like being swept together like a broom) and these particles are what make up the secretions, along with mucous your body produces to lubricate your nasal passage.  If you have a cold or sinus infection, your body is working overtime to evacuate that from your body as well--hence, major boogers!! :<

It's not. Or more accurately, I'm almost certain it's not. I myself get that when I sneeze hard, it's just body's reflex to the sneeze. I did have lab testes done, and I was 100% fine.
