Why Do I Sneeze When I Pluck My Eyebrows
Camila Farah
But the pain of plucking can cause a fake sneeze signal in nearby nerve endings.
Plucking a hair from your eyebrow stimulates a nearby branch of the nerve that services your nasal passages and thus can instigate the process that causes you to sneeze. A branch of the trigeminal nerve extends around the eye and down to the nose. Sneezing is a very natural response to the tiny plucking action that happens when you thread your eyebrows as well. The brow area is sensitive in general but the eyelid area is often the most.
An ordinary sneeze is triggered by sensory signals sent from the nose along the trigeminal nerve. Sometimes when plucking your eyebrows that nerve is stimulated. You may be able to avoid sneezing by pressing your finger anywhere against your eyebrow as you tweeze which according to dr. Lol this happens to me and alot of people.
When the trigeminal nerve is stimulated by eyebrow tweezing this causes excitement of the nerve.
