3. Sneezing actually helps the nose and the body. Why?
That is because it sends all the tickling or irritating parts
in your nose, flying out of your nostril. Seems gross, but
sneezing is an amazing process. The nerves in your
nose send a message to a part of the brain called the
sneeze center. Then, the sneeze center sends a
message to all the muscles that work together to form a
sneeze. Some of the muscles are: abdominal, chest,
and diaphragm muscles, just to name a few. Oh! And
also the eyelid muscles. You always close you eyes
when sneezing. Sneeze is also called sternutation.

4. • Dust
• Pepper
• Common cold
• Light (people who sneeze by light are called
photic sneezers)
• Pollen
• Allergy
• Mold
• Animal fur
• Smoke
• Inhaling fine powders such as perfume

5. When you are reading this title,
you might be thinking, Oh! Is Hay
fever a fever caused by hay?
Definitely NO! Hay fever actually
has nothing to do with hay. Hay
fever is when you have a runny
and itchy nose and eyes. You
start to sneeze when you have an
itchy nose. Hay fever is when
pollen lodges in your nose. Hay
fever causes sneezing externally.
