cause if you close your eyes
Your nose feels twitchy, your eyes snap shut and a-a-a-a-c-hooo -- a sneeze rockets out at 75 to 100 miles per hour. And with a long, miserable allergy season ahead, that's going to be happening a lot. We all know how a sneeze happens. What we donât know is why our eyes automatically close when we do it. School kids will tell you itâs prevent your eyes from popping out, an urban legend â at least for the most part. There has been at least one report of this actually happening.
