WHY do we sneeze?

Sneezing is a protective reflex triggered when dust or a pungent odor comes into contact with the nasal mucosa. It is a strong and rapid exhalation through the nose.

❗Sneezing allows air to exit at a speed of 1000 km/h, which is equal to the speed of sound.

The same way mucus from a runny nose is expelled.

WHY does motion sickness occur?



It is caused by a malfunction of the vestibular apparatus, responsible for keeping us firmly on feet.

It reacts to changes in the position of the head and body in space, as well as to acceleration.

When a person's body moves and sways in a car or on a boat, the brain receives conflicting information from the different senses, which causes nausea, dizziness, and headaches.
