Loud and powerful sneezers, have you figured out a way to tame your sneezes? (sh.itjust.works)

I sneeze really loudly and powerful and often I can't control it. What makes it worse is, its often sprays a lot of saliva as well. I'm safe most of the time if I can get to my handkerchief or tissue in time. But there are times I have no other option but to let it out. Has anyone found a way to tame it and make it milder or easier to control.

Sneeze into the fold of your elbow, instead of spraying around the room

This, or bicep or forearm if you're like me and dont want extra germs developing in that elbow fold

We get it. You work out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Lol, you're right, I do, but I think I sneezed on my bicep/forearm before I started working out😆

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rookie. Sneeze into the back of your knee, then we can talk

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I sneeze directly into the back of my head

Is it possible to learn this power?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Never forget about your secondary armpit; the elbowpitfold.
