When you sneeze, your body expels air from the lungs forcefully through the nose and mouth to clear irritants from the nasal passages. This rapid expulsion can create a high-velocity stream of air, reaching speeds of up to 100 mph. The pressure built up in the respiratory system during a sneeze is what propels the nasal contents at such high speeds, effectively dispersing droplets that can carry pathogens. This mechanism serves as a natural defense to expel foreign particles and prevent infection.
