I sneeze really loudly and powerful and often I can't control it. What makes it worse is, its often sprays a lot of saliva as well. I'm safe most of the time if I can get to my handkerchief or tissue in time. But there are times I have no other option but to let it out. Has anyone found a way to tame it and make it milder or easier to control.

Sneeze into the fold of your elbow, instead of spraying around the room

Lol, you're right, I do, but I think I sneezed on my bicep/forearm before I started working out😆

[–] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rookie. Sneeze into the back of your knee, then we can talk

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I sneeze directly into the back of my head

[–] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Is it possible to learn this power?

Never forget about your secondary armpit; the elbowpitfold.
