There are two things we cannot do at the same time :

1. Breathe and swallow at the same time.

**2. sneeze with our eyes open.

Re: Natural facts !

Nice thread… i’ll sticky it :k:

You can’t breathe and swallow at the same time because you have 2 different tubes running down in your throat area: the trachea (for breathing) and the oesophagus (for food). When you swallow, the opening of your lungs (trachea) closes, and when you breathe, the opening of your stomach (oesophagus) closes… it’s our body’s way of preventing food from going into our breathing unit.

The sneeze thing - i always believed that if you force your eyes open whilst sneezing, they’ll come flying out of their sockets…

“They” meaning eyes or boogers?

EDIT: Just came across this fact… don’t know if it’s true or not, but interesting nevertheless:-

“Until babies are six months old, they can breathe and swallow at the same time”

Re: Natural facts !

I've read that if you sneeze with your eyes open, they pop out. Also, if you try to control a sneeze you could burst some artery in your brain and break a rib if you sneeze too hard.

wow! That's scary... I sometimes control my sneezes...and ppl don't even know i sneezed...they think its a cough!!! I must be getting some major artery spillage!!! :S
