Tell me about your sneezes

Our 12 week old DD always sneezes 3 times when she sneezes, and when she did this earlier I remarked to my husband how I thought it was odd.

I always sneeze twice, or in multiples of 2, but if I sneeze only once it usually means I’m about to
get ill. My husband says he only ever sneezes twice, never more or less.

It’s made me wonder what’s the norm for everyone else?!

3 times if it’s a sneeze from something in environment

Hanumantelpiece · 19/02/2019 22:31

Usually only single sneezes, but they're loud. If it's hayfever season though, I can rattle off 10 or 12 non-stop.
As an aside, I used to work with a woman who, if she ate spearmint would sneeze 7 times in a row. If she ate peppermint, she was fine.

3 average sneezes if it's the environment.

1 big sneeze if I'm getting a cold.

1st sneeze, 2nd sneeze, 5 second break, third sneeze - every time!

Justmuddlingalong · 19/02/2019 22:34

1 sneeze. And a piss of the breeks if it's a big one.

tinyradish · 19/02/2019 22:34

Ummm usually one sneeze at a time here.

Summertime with hay-fever is a whole different story though.

DramaAlpaca · 19/02/2019 22:37

I sneeze once, or maybe twice at the most.

When DH sneezes he goes on, and on, and on.... His mother and sister are just the same.

Glitterbugle · 19/02/2019 22:41

I sneeze when I pluck my right eyebrow. Never the left

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 20/02/2019 00:15

I normally sneeze more than once but haven’t noticed if there’s a pattern.

I also sneeze REALLY loudly. I physically can’t internalise a sneeze - it hurts my throat, ears and nose to even try.

SoleBizzz · 20/02/2019 00:16

I also cannot I internalize a sneeze. I am the loudest sneezer and do not sneeze often thank fuck.

PickAChew · 20/02/2019 00:17

Just realised I've not sneezed for ages. When I do, it's multiple and loud.

hoge · 20/02/2019 00:20

I sneeze once, sometimes twice. Pee myself every time 🙋🏼‍♀️

MitziK · 20/02/2019 01:43

Usually three times, but i have to look at a light to make it come, as there's only one thing that feels worse to lose just as it's about to happen...

It's just a sneeze, no daft sounds involved, no trying to sound like a Field Mouse with hayfever or, my particular hatred based upon an absolute prick who constantly demanded attention for every bodily function and probably a round of applause people who make a point of engaging their vocal chords to bellow AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

They will be some of the first up against the wall when I become Ruler of the Universe. Along with those who lift their leg to make incredibly noisy farts, those who make smacking sounds with their lips when eating, those who deliberately burp as loud as possible or make gasping noises after drinking and people who hawk snot up their noses and flob it out. Seriously, I'm sure if they had their way, those sorts of people would have every turd witnessed to show how clever they've been. Kill them all

halfwitpicker · 20/02/2019 01:58

Ugh not keen on sneezing tbh

bubblegumbottles · 20/02/2019 11:08

I am an absolute serial sneezer, very rarely less than 5/6 at a time.
