I sneeze when i have strong mints, is this odd?!

This might be just an allergy, or maybe you are just sensitive to strong smelling substances. it may be to do with the ingredients used in the mints.The probable cause is a congenital malfunction in nerve signals in the trigeminal nerve nuclei. The fifth cranial nerve, called the trigeminal nerve, is apparently responsible for sneezes. Research suggests that some people have an association between this nerve and the nerve that transmits visual impulses to the brain. Overstimulation of the optic nerve triggers the trigeminal nerve, and this causes the photic sneeze reflex.In your case, this implies an overstimulation of any nerve close to the trigeminal nerve, causing the sneeze reflex. hope this helps.

Not especially. Mints like altoids can have up to 10mgs of menthol in each one, which is akin to a heavy duty cough drop. If your nosed isn't stuffed it could induce nasal irritation, which would cause a sneeze.Health Question & Answer
