Don't hold it in!!!!!
A guy in his 30s was recently driving in Scotland when he had to sneeze and decided he'd try to hold it in.
He closed his mouth and pinched his nose, but still sneezed . . . and it tore a hole in his THROAT.
The technical term is "spontaneous tracheal perforation." It rarely happens this way. Doctors could only find a handful of cases.
By the way, if you plug your nose, the pressure in your upper airway can be 20 times what it normally is.
He was lucky it wasn't worse. It can also cause ruptured eardrums, broken ribs, or even an aneurysm.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - Jell-O created four flavors to use in salads in the 1960s: Celery . . . Italian salad . . . mixed vegetables . . . and seasoned tomato. But they all flopped and were discontinued.
As well it should. Fruit..only fruit should be in Jello. (if that)
