Show SNEEZING IS OF TWO KINDS That From a Cold Is the Result of an Effort to Warm the Body, Doctor Says. '"-here is more than one cause for sneezing, and persons may differ in their susceptibility to them," a specialist special-ist in diseases of the nose and throat says. "A bright light will cause some persons per-sons to sneeze, the pollen of certain plants will affect others, and most people peo-ple are likely to sneeze in the presence of dust. Such sneezing is due to superficial su-perficial irritation. "The sneeze caused by the effect of cold is different. It is an attempt of nature to cure you. She makes you sneeze for the same reason that she makes you shiver to generate heat for warming the blood and preventing you from taking more cold. "Sneezing from cold is an act of the entire body, during which every muscle gives a jump. The body is affected af-fected by a spasmodic effort to warm the entire system and throw off cold." |
