I sneeze everyday. Usually once or twice. What causes someone to sneeze while just sitting at work typing?

could be that there is dust accumulating in your office. Try dusting your work area and your computer. Sometimes it's working with all the paperwork. Sometimes it releases a little powder that is most likely to make you sneeze, especially if the paper is old. I had that problem when I would worked with old files or lots of paperwork. Also check to see if you're not allergic to any plants that might be around the office.

Haha. I do that all the time.\n\nMy allergies are sooo bad, and one day I could barely breath.  I had a concert to go the next weekend, and I knew if I called off for the allergies, I wouldn't be able to call off for the concert.\n\nSo indeed, I went to work sniffling, coughing, and wheezing...  But I enjoyed the best weekend evaaa`!  :]

Heck if i know. I'm asleep. Seriously though. There's no reason whatsoever why a person can't sneeze while asleep. What if you're dreaming about petting a cat and you're allergic to cats? Yes is your answer.\n-\nOk, I read a few articles on sneezing while asleep. They all say a person can't. I still say just because people don't sneeze while asleep doesn't mean they "can't". Tell you what. Let me put some pepper under your nose while you're asleep and let see if you don't sneeze. =)\n.\n.

Just relax.  This is probably just a sub-conscience reaction to not wanting to be heard sneezing.  Nobody should think differently of you as long as you make sure that your hands are clean.

Im with everyone else.  Seeing a doctor would be your best bet.  If my little one sneezes the wrong way im calling a nurse!

I recall reading that waaaay back when...sneezing was a "sign" that one had evil spirits or the devil in them.  Blessing them was to try and help them.  I've never heard of someone be blessed for coughing, though.

When you sneeze every muscle in your body tightens, The muscle in your eye might be more sensitive to the sudden spasm

I don't think so, and I've never heard this before.  I have heard that your heart stops momentarily when you sneeze though.

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.

Say 'Bless you' after someone sneezes. It's supposed to keep the devil at bay. If the Devil doesn't materialise then you'll know it worked.

Mechanism of sneezing - Normally, sneezing is an involuntary reflex, which is controlled by a complex interaction of nerve fibres. A variety of receptor sites, situated in the nose, reports about the irritation or foreign substance to the brain for inducing sneezing by releasing histamine, for clearing the nose. Receptors are sensitive to infection, touch, smells of dust, chemical gases, fumes, temperature and exposure to extreme cold air and water (the main offender). Usually, sneeze begins with a deep inspiration and closed glottis, which suddenly opens after gaining pressure from contraction of the diaphragm, abdomen muscles and other muscles which compress the lungs to let out the trapped air with force through nose and mouth. So with an explosive sound, throw of air occurs as a sneeze. Sneezing also involves contraction of the muscles of face, neck and eyes. Sometimes, sneezing air speed is measured more than 120 km/per hour. Normally, people sneeze once or twice during early morning or daytime to clear the nose.\n\nFor more info, go to the source...

Of course, its a perfectly natural situation. Something that irritates the nostrils' delicate lining makes the nerve endings not only say that 'hey there's an itch here too!' but the sneeze reflex also responds to the irritant.

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?

Quite a lot of people have bad allergies (to things like dust, pollen, and animal dander). Also, influenza is easily passed around, simply by being around a sick person's sneeze, or touching a faucet in a public bathroom (This applies to seasonal colds as well).

Superstition had it that at the moment of a sneeze, all thoughts are momentarily banished from the concious mind, leaving an opening for the Devil to get in. I think it goes back to the second century.
