Sneezing is the body's way to remove irritation from the nose or throat. This phenomenon can also be referred to as the process of forced and forceful expulsion of bacteria into the air. Sneezing has a speed of about 160 km / h and can remove 100,000 bacteria in one beat. This often happens suddenly and without warning. Another name for sneezing is sternutation. Although these symptoms are very disturbing, but sneezing is not a symptom of serious health problems. What causes sneezing? One function of your nose is to clean the air you breathe, and make sure that your body is free from dirt and bacterial particles. In many cases, the nose traps dirt and bacteria in the mucus. Your stomach then digests the mucus to neutralize any potentially harmful invaders. Sometimes, dirt and debris can enter the nose and irritate the sensitive mucous membranes in the nose and throat. When this membrane can not stand it anymore, then there sneezes. These symptoms can be triggered by allergens, ie viruses such as colds and flu, or by nasal irritation due to corticosteroid inhalation through nasal sprays or drug release.
