Almost anything can irritate(刺激) the inside of your nose，the most common being dust particles.When we catch a cold，the virus present in the nose causes much irritation.Some people suffer from allergies(过敏) and sneeze when exposed to certain particles like flower powder.

　　Uncontrollable sudden sneezes cannot be stopped.However，if you can feel the sneeze coming up，it may help if you try to focus on a physical condition rather than the sneeze.For example，you can pinch(捏) the tip of your nose.Using the tip of your tongue，touch the roof of your mouth lightly.

　　People across the world associate kinds of beliefs in culture to sneezes.For example，in India，a sneeze that takes place before the start of any work is an indication of a bad interruption.Thus，people generally take a break or drink a glass of water before starting the work again.In almost all the countries where English is spoken，the common response to a sneeze is “God Bless You”.The most common explanations about its origin focus on the idea of preventing the soul from the body or an effort to prevent death.

　　The longest sneezing attack is present in the Guinness World Book of Records.A 12yearold girl called Donna Griffiths from England holds the record.Her sneezing attack lasted for 977 days from January 1981 to September 1983 and produced more than a million sneezes.
