I just realized something.

[conuly]

I was standing in the kitchen, making tea and thinking about "days of the week" rhymes I know, and considering "Sneeze on Monday" and - does that mean most people do not expect to sneeze every day of the week? Because I am reasonably certain that I sneeze every day of the week, rain and shine, allergy season or not, cold season or not.

And not because of bright lights, either. I don't do that.

Is this a thing? Do most people not have at least one sneezing incident daily?

If I were asked this on a day when I had sneezed, I'd probably answer yes. But I don't remember sneezing today, so perhaps it doesn't happen as often as I would have thought.

I don't *think* I normally sneeze every day.... at the moment I have covid so there is a *lot* of explosive sneezing going on, and it's hard to remember!

[gingicat]

Cough, yes. Sniffle, yes. Sneezing is more like once every few days.

[cactuswatcher]

If I sneeze once in consecutive months, it feels like it's a lot.

It's seasonal, but not by day of the week. Of course, I don't have a wood or coal fire in my house and dust/sweep 6 days a week. And if I did, the double layer of dust would build up on Saturday, not Sunday.

How do people get through a day without sneezing! What is their secret??? (Okay I have allergies, so I sneeze several times a day.)

[adrian_turtle]

Many of my allergies don't make me sneeze. They make my nose run and my eyes water and my sinuses clog up. Or they make my throat hurt and my arms and face itch.

[pauamma]

My impression is that I sneeze 2 to 3 days a week, usually sneezing twice (occasionally 3 times) in a row each time.

[archersangel]

i don't generally don't pay attention to my sneezing. unless it's like 2-3 or more times in a day.

Can't remember a day I haven't sneezed, but I do have a *really* strong photic sneeze reflex. I joke that I'm a vampire and it's how my sunlight allergy manifests.

[fred_mouse]

I say yes, but I'm not 100% on that. I always have allergy symptoms though, and I think I sneeze regularly with that.

I don't sneeze every day, but I do have the wiring issue where I sneeze when going into bright sunlight... so I sneeze many days. Days like today, where I didn't go outside, I'm not exposed to bright light, so might not sneeze. :-)
