Why can't we keep our eyes open when we sneeze?!


Question: Why can't we keep our eyes open when we sneeze!?
Answers:
Actually, no one really knows!.

'It is unclear, but scientists theorize that we close our eyes to protect them!. We may be protecting our eyes from microorganisms and particles from our sneezes!. But it could also be simply because a sneeze is a kind of bodywide reflex in which a lot of muscles contract, not just in the nose and throat but also those in the diaphragm, the abdomen, thighs, back, even sphincters (which is why some people with stress incontinence may urinate slightly when they sneeze)!.

Researchers aren't sure exactly why the sneeze reflex happens!. It's one of the mysteries of life, like why do we dream, or why do we put our hands out automatically when we fall!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

because when we sneeze we reelise air from nose at the speed of approx 1206 km\h this is to much speed about mach 1 this is the scientific reason!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
