Achhoo! Have you ever stopped and wondered why you sneeze? Well, sneezing is a way to rid your body of all the bacteria and germs that are in your nose. It also keeps the tubes — carrying the air from your nose to the lungs — healthy. Also, sneezing clears your nose when you catch a cold. Mind you, some people even have frightful bouts of sneezing. Once they start, they can’t stop before sneezing six to seven times.
