Question: Will sneezing with your eyes open cause them to pop out!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I recall reading a book that mentioned this myth when i was younger!. I don't remember the title of the book, but i do remember how it said it is impossible to sneeze with you eyes open- since it's a body's automatic reaction to close them!.

But since ones sneezing force can exceed 50 mph, I imagine it may have truth to it!. So I wouldn't suggest trying it!.

Some other sneezing facts I found interesting according to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Health System is thatstiflingg a sneeze can have damaging effects on your eardrums due to the pressure in your head!.

Here's the link to a google resourse if you want more information on the subject!.
