Next time you feel your sneeze starting to fade away, tilt your head back. I know some people claim that looking at the sun is the solution, but I discovered that, at least for me, the back head tilt is all it takes, even in a dark room

Squeezing at the edge of your nose cartilage (not closing the nostril) has the same effect. Works for me every time. And now some poetry. I sneezed a sneeze into the air. It fell to earth, I know not where. But angered were the looks of those In whose vicinity I snoze.

Guess what, there’s a very simple way to stop a sneeze and that is to squeeze your earlobe’s and it actually works just remember to do it before a sneeze (sneezing is a good way to remove the germs in your mouth so I recommend that you don’t do this unless it is necessary. :)

I kind of can't sneeze in public most of the time now, like my subconscious won't let it fully come out and it just makes a weird noise so instead I always use this trick to block it...

I just hold my breath for about 10 seconds and them the feeling to sneeze is gone.

I have a case of the sniffles and a mild fever, but fortunately I didn't sneeze up a storm at the Green brothers' total rocking of the historic Town Hall in New York just a few hours ago! I'm glad I decided to buy a ticket at the last minute.

Actually, this makes a lot of sense to me; I can always stop a sneeze from happening but instead of using my finger to apply the pressure, I flex my upper lip and nose muscles, basically like you would in an exaggerated expression of disgust. I've always suspected that it had something to do with disrupting some kind of signal inside my nose, which is also why I tend to do the face repeatedly to stop a sneeze, as if sending more varied signals than constant pressure would. Super cool to know why it works, Its always just been instinctual for me

i can sneeze silently almos, as many do. when i can though, i go all in and i shout it out so hard people are often startled or even scared. love it.

Thank you almost got sent to quarantine

This will sound stupid... but I can stop a sneeze almost every time if I say or think 'grapefruit'. I didn't believe it when I heard it but it's been working for me for years.

also pressing on the top of your nose bridge, right between the eyes. this is accessible to do one someone who isnt you. which is why its awesome. when someone is about to sneeze, press the top of their nose, and it interupts the signal and freezes them in a 'i have to sneeze but cant' state which is hilarious for everyone but the victim.

Whoop first! I love this channel!

The finger trick has worked for me without exception for over 50 years.

this video made me YAWN

When I stop a sneeze, I feel physical pain

This video showed me that I really enjoy how hank pronounces "sneeze"

Talk about a Blowout

I always cover my right eye , and it tends to help

I stimulate those nerves by popping the cartilage near the bridge of my nose or by pushing up on the base of my nose and snapping the cartilage back and forth from down there. I've also learned how to stimulate that nerve and interrupt a sneeze just by focusing my attention on it.

I pinch my nose shut and blow out my ear drums, this is probably terrible for me but I've been doing it my whole life and it doesn't actually blow out my hearing or hurt like when I was younger and first started doing it. I'd like to think that my body adapted to the continued habits over the years.

As a psychologist, there are many times when I just don't want to interrupt the situation with a sneeze. I learned on my own about pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth. But sometimes I can also just let the potential sneeze "burn out" by arresting it, "holding it," somehow, before it fully gets going. Can't explain it, but it works.

Thumbnail : question Title : answer I didn't even have to watch the video.

Biting the opposite side of your tongue to the side of your nostril the sneeze is coming from also works every time. Slightly painful yes but highly effective. I Was taught that in a food factory and used it ever since. Also forcing/squeezing your lips together with your fingers so you can't breath out of your mouth will unblock a blocked nose or at least one side enough to breath through it. I often do this with a cold works a charm..although only temporary with a cold.

Why can I force a sneeze by looking at bright lights though?

Wow, im actually sick right now with a really bad cold... Nice cosmic-coincidence timing guys, thanks!

Hey Scishow, have you tried holding the upper part of your nose where the bone is with two fingers? Works all the time

I usually breath out my nose and breath in through my mouth. That has about a 70% chance of working for me. Lately I’ve had to do it a lot because of spinal injuries. Ever sneeze with back pain?

My nose is trigged by this video.

If you press the part above the centre of your lip below your nose (philtrum) it works better than placing a horizontal finger under the nose

I've never heard about the finer thing but I've always just strongly pressed my tongue against the roof of my mouth and that works for me. I have no allergies or sneeze when i see bright light's however, and I can almost always feel (1-4 seconds beforehand) when I'm about to sneeze.

2:11 "based on the anatomy of your face" sounds like it should proceed a wicked burn.

I stop sneezes by pinching my (right) pinkie finger’s tip and the joint between proximal and intermediate phalanges towards each other. Works like magic.

I always put pressure on my nose, like pinching it (not to hold it, just to prevent the sneeze), and it works. Next time, I'll have to try the lip instead!

my method is to rub the top of the 2 sides of the noses up and down along the nose quickly quick and a little hard to produce warmth and it works but you have to keep doing it for a while even when it stops otherwise it comes back.

Good to know for when it's really necessary

Long time ago a dentist told me after wisdom tooth was pulled not to sneeze because it might cause the tooth wholes bleed. He said to pinch my pinky finger when I start to feel urge to sneeze. Now I cant remember was certain if it was the opposite finger of the nousteral that was tinkling, but I now tweeze both pinkies quick and if I'm able to tweeze fast enough this totally stops the sneeze. Try it out yourself...

i've actually heard about the tongue on the roof of your mouth thing. Apparently some nurses/doctors get told about it so they can prevent sneezes in their workplace (where it can be a major concern)

Try pinching in front of the nasal bones with two fingers, on the upper part of your nose, slightly pushing against the nasal bones themselves...works wonders for me.

Pulling my ear downward stops sneeze reflex everytime and I'm baffled about it.

Finally I no longer have to spill my gin and tonic all over myself when I have to sneeze. Thanks SciShow.

I am an ascended superhuman with the ability to stop myself from sneezing using sheer willpower.

I will definitely test this hypothesis the next time my gf has one of her sneeze fits. I'll report back with data.

AHHHH HAAAA AHHHH SNUFFFFFFFFF

Please do a video on why you sneeze when you look at the sun

I've had similar success stopping sneezes by tapping on the bridge or my nose (the spot where glasses would rest). From the image of the nerve it appears as if this is accomplishing the same thing.

when i think about sneezing or talk about sneezing it makes me yawn. like when talking about yawning and you just get the insatiable urge to yawn. and then you yawn.

So, yes

This literally happened to me today!

HANKKKKKK❤️

Why do some people sneeze when looking at a light source like a lightbulb or the sun?

I've my own way to stop it although I'm surprised he didn't mention it with the options, it works every time like magice

Works for me

I had surgery on my right ear to remove a small, benign tumor called a cholesteatoma. It involves removing the tympanic membrane, and the three bones that connect it to the cochlea, then removing the cholesteatoma itself. In the process, however, at least one, perhaps two of the bones are destroyed (replaced with a titanium rod), and the tympanic membrane is destroyed (it's reconstructed using a piece of the fascia harvested from one of the muscles on the outside of the skull). Anyway, because the newly-constructed tympanic membrane is held in place by a few stitches and a couple of drops of superglue, sneezing for about 3 to 4 weeks after the surgery is *absolutely* forbidden!! Otherwise you'd blow apart all the surgeon's carefully constructed work. My ENT doc told me that when I felt a sneeze coming on to close my eyes, press my finger to my upper lip, and to exhale from my nose *very gently.* It worked 100% of the time for me. Didn't sneeze once in about a month! Amazing, but it's absolutely true!

I broke some ribs and for a while sneezing hurt like hell. I learned to just will power them away. No fancy tricks needed.

I pinch the part of my nose right above the part that closes your nostrils

I have a request for a video! In New Zealand we currently have a huge conflict about the poison 1080 being dropped. A lot of people are against the drops, however they are essential if we want to save our native wildlife. Would you consider making a video addressing the pros and cons of 1080 in New Zealand in our current circumstance? We recently had a drop that was heavily protested so there's a lot of people angry at the moment. I think a well put-together video would help address the misinformation that is being spread.

I find that pinching the bridge of my nose helps making the urge to sneeze go away. It also works with those annoying "Almost Sneezes" in which you feel the need to sneeze, but it doesn't come out for some reason, and you end up feeling all itchy in the nose area.

Rubbing my tongue on the roof it my mouth just as the sneeze urge hits actually encourages me to sneeze. So there goes that one!

I just close my nose with 2 fingers when I feel a sneeze coming and it stops it every time.

Great, now I cant stop tickling the roof of my mouth.

How come no matter how full I get after eating I feel like I always have room for ice cream?

I don't know why I never noticed this before, but the past few weeks it's jumped out at me that Hank pronounces the word experiment eks-spear-a-mint. I pronounce it eks-spare-a-mint. Or, to put it another way (because that may be as clear as mud), he pronounces the second syllable to rhyme with fear and I pronounce it to rhyme with fair. Does anyone else notice that? I've never heard it any way but mine before; is his way common? Is this a regional thing? Florida versus Texas (except, I'm not sure there IS a Florida accent, and I don't sound like the other Texans)?

I always carry a chicken feather with me in case some one starts to annoy me, then I just tickle their nose with it and laugh when they can't stop sneezing. Thanks Scishow, for ruining my fun!

When the pressing tongue technique fails, the "WWLLAHH" sneeze came out

That's a little different from how I do it. I place my finger just below the tip of my nose, and gently press inn, and upwards. Works pretty much every time.

But whenever I stifle a sneeze with these methods, I find I just need to sneeze again like 10 seconds later. The irritant is still in my nose I guess, we sneeze for good reason.

Can we do anything to stop time

i got a problem recently where i cant release the "CHU" of the sneeze. i just inhale like crazy but cant release sometimes -.-

I learned to do this from Looney Toons as a kid, and it's worked wonders ever since.
