Why do we often sneeze when we inhale a lot of dust-laden air?
We sneeze to remove inhaled foreign particles while inhaling a high quantity of dust-laden air.
These inhaled particles get trapped in the nasal hair, which is present in the nasal cavity, and cause irritation in the lining of the cavity. This irritation act as a trigger to send the message to the brain which in response instructs the nasal chamber to perform sneezing.
Explanation:
The act of sneezing is your body's way of clearing nasal inflammation. When the inside of the nose is tickled, a signal is transmitted to the sneeze center, a specific region of the brain. The sneeze center then sends a signal to all the muscles that must cooperate to make the incredibly complex process that we term a sneeze.
Typically, sneezing begins when the immune system releases substances such as histamine or leukotrienes in response to allergens or to fight diseases caused by foreign pathogens such as the common cold and influenza viruses. The "allergic reaction" sensation of sneezing is caused by the binding of these substances to receptors on the trigeminal nerve.
Sneezing can be an early sign of a cold or an allergic reaction. Sneezing spreads viruses such as the common cold and influenza by producing aerosol droplets containing the infecting virus, which are subsequently inhaled by healthy individuals.
