Sneezewort

Sneezewort is the seventh plant unlocked in Blizzard Peaks in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, after beating Level 15A. On their own, Sneezewort sneezes and shoots a snot projectile every 2 seconds, which damages zombies for 20 DPS and poisons them on impact, where the poison does 10 DPS per second for 10 seconds before it wears off. For every ice plant that Sneezewort is adjacent to, Sneezewort will be chilled and sneeze (or shoot) 0.125 seconds faster and the poison inflicted will deal 2 more DPS. Sneezewort themselves are not considered an ice plant, but they have a natural immunity to the cold. If Sneezewort is exposed to a blizzard (extremely strong chilling winds rather than gentle ones) that blows down their lane, Sneezewort's Plant Food ability will activate (see Plant Food power section to see what that does).
Sneezewort has an upgrade alongside Bur Coat, that being Feverfew.
==Origins==
Sneezewort is based on the flower of the same common name (scientific name being Achillea ptarmica), where the "sneeze" part of the name refers to Sneezewort's main ability to shoot snot. The poisonous effect of this snot refers to how viruses that cause colds can spread through mucus, and Sneezewort's more violent sneezing in the cold refers to how these viruses may spread more easily at lower temperatures.

“Psst, hey,” said Sneezewort. “I’ll— ACHOO! Sorry. I’ll let you in on a secret! Basically— ACHOO! Excuse me. Basically, did you know that— ACHOO! Ugh, I’m so sorry. Did you know that— ACHOO! Bless me! Did— wait, what? Bless me? What am I— ACHOO! Y'know what. Forget it.”

===Plant Food power===
When fed Plant Food, Sneezewort will violently sneeze across a randomly scattered area that can range from 6 tiles ahead to 1 lane above and below, permanently poisoning all zombies dealing the same amount of DPS per second as Sneezewort would with the number of ice plants currently adjacent to it.

==Strategies==
On their own, Sneezewort's damage (both direct and poison altogether) reflects what their sun cost has to offer well, but in order to use this plant to their full potential, a defense using ice plant synergy is recommended. The more ice plants that Sneezewort is surrounded by, the faster they shoot and the more potent their poison is, gradually making Sneezewort more powerful and giving your ice defenses a bonus poison attacker. Additionally, in Blizzard Peaks, where this plant is from, the blizzards that happen here can activate Sneezewort's Plant Food effect, which makes Sneezewort a more potent fighter in this area.
