    My dad once felt a sneeze coming while brushing teeth. He tried to suppress it and closed his mouth, resulting in a mouthful of minty toothpaste pressure-washing his nose.

    He didn’t recommend this experience at all, besides the burning agony that lasted quite a while, crumbs of dry toothpaste kept falling out of his nose for like a week sporadically.

    If you feel a sneeze coming on, pinch the soft tissue at the bridge of your nose. For me, this stops a sneeze 99% of the time.

        Tangentially related, press your tongue as flat as possible against the roof of you mouth to speed up recovery from brain freeze.

    Sneezing with a mouthful of anything is the worst. Even if you try to mitigate the damage by covering your mouth, it just blasts out everywhere.
