Why do we close our eyes when we sneeze?????
Natural protection against seeing the blobs flying out of our mouths and noses and landing on the boss's dinner jacket.
Or to protect our eyes against the pressure. (I don't give attention to they'd pop out, or anything, though)
because your eyes would pop out!
Sneeze comes out at 100mph - so if you didnt close your eyes they would pop out
maybe because we are taken aback to the loud nouns of our sneezE? ahhaha...but the guy on top is right, our eyes can pop out, I think I read it on some book a few months ago...
Its an automatic reflex. During a sneeze, tremendous stress is placed on the body. Considerable nouns pressure is place upon the eyes. And it's an urban legend that your eyes will pop out if you don't!!

2 The 'nose nerve' is certainly a branch of the opthalmic nerve that's why we sometimes sneeze contained by bright sunshine
Your eyes will not pop out.
i think your eyes would pop out if we didnt!
because of the pressure surrounded by your head cause you to sqeeze your eyes tight to give confort
A SCIENTIFIC QUESTION WHICH I DONT REALLY KNOW. AND IT'S THE SAME WHEN KISSING SOMEONE ON THE LIPS IN LOVE.
