How fast is a sneeze?

No wonder it's so easy to catch a cold when some people thoughtlessly cough and sneeze without covering it up.

Say it. Don’t spray it.

100mph was a guess from the early 1900s. It's since been debunked. Please use facts from recent sources. Or, word the question "some believe..." Thanks! "The study found that a sneeze’s maximum velocity is nowhere near 100 meters per second but instead reaches a high of 4.5 meters per second, or 10 miles per hour. That’s comparable to the velocity of air expelled by coughing—and a violent cough can push up a larger volume of air, which requires even more force."

jem, why didn't you provide a source?

Turbocharged snot!!

sue, Let's not forget the health of your Immune System.

jem, I get you're using a "study" but should cite the source for others to see, otherwise it's just Google

This goes to people who sneeze in their palm. You can always use your elbow

fast enough to force your eyes shut

how would you count the droplets?

The comments are just as educational as the questions! Thanks.

Ruairi, Yes Jem just didn't. he doesn't have a source to his claim either.. 😅

jem, Exactly!

that's very fast

Sue, you got that right girl! Ga... Zoon tight!
