When my husband sneezes it smells very musty. It's a strong smell too. It reminds me of an old house that's been closed up tight for years. He's healthy no cold etc..why do they smell?

Answer 1

There are many different things that can be causing a bad smell after someone sneezes. Some of these things include a sinus infection, bad breath, dental diseases, and mucus in the respiratory tract.

Answer 2

The reason why sneezes smell bad is because the amount of bacteria and old saliva that was in a persons mouth sprays into the air as a fine mist or droplet spray when they sneezed.

People then would be able to smell their sneeze by breathing in the saliva that was in the air when the person sneezed.
