#28: The Old Hunger Sneeze
According to this person, when they are hungry, they have the urge to sneeze. The phenomenon of sneezing when hungry, often referred to as “honeymoon rhinitis” or “snatiation,” is a curious but rather rare occurrence. While not fully understood, it is thought to be linked to certain sensory pathways and reflexes that can become intertwined in some people.
When a person’s hunger becomes pronounced, their body may interpret this sensation as an irritant, triggering a sneeze reflex. While snatiation is generally harmless and a source of curiosity, it serves as a reminder of the intricate and sometimes idiosyncratic ways in which our bodies respond to various stimuli. Although not a universal experience, those who sneeze when hungry often find it to be a harmless quirk of their own biology.
