TIL in 2018, a 34-year-old man blew a hole in his throat by holding his nose and closing his mouth while sneezing. The expulsion of air from a sneeze can propel mucous droplets at a rate of 100 mph. He was given antibiotics and put on a feeding tube for 7 days and recovered with no permanent damage.

I always figured it’d be the eyes that give and pop out.
I do that regularly. Not the blowing a whole in myselfpart, but the holding in a sneeze part. Now granted I don’t actually pinch my nose so I’m probably not succeeding 100%.
You should’ve seen my taint.
Sounds like the next amazing weight-loss fad!
Oh good. He survived to pass on his genes. Excellent.
