Sneezing your eyes out
Many people have heard the urban legend that keeping your eyes open while sneezing will literally pop them out of your head. Is there any truth to this rumor?Absolutely notthe legend is just that. The force of a sneeze is nowhere near strong enough to dislodge an eyeball. If it were, the human eyelid wouldn’t be strong enough to keep it in. Furthermore, eye sockets are not even connected to the nasal passages. Eyelids close during a sneeze simply because the ocular and nasal nerves are closely connected. It looks like this rumor will simply have to be put down to someone’s gruesome flight of fancy.
