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.

    Breathe out before the sneeze. It will be much less powerful when you aren’t squeezing your maximum lung capacity out through your nose and mouth.

      That’s interesting. Never heard of this before. Gonna see if I’m actually able to next time I need to sneeze. I almost feel like the deep inhale before a sneeze is involuntary but we’ll see…
