Why do you blink when you sneeze?!
Question:
Why do you blink when you sneeze?
Just wanted to know.
Answers:
It's just how our bodies are wired - no one knows why.
"It's just about impossible to hold your eyelids open while you sneeze. They snap shut by reflex. The reflex serves no purpose, so far as anybody knows; it's just the way you're wired up. The nerves serving the eyes and the nose are closely intertwined, and stimuli to the one often trigger some response in the other".
