A member asked:
Could inducing sneezes lead to nasal allergies eventually, like using a q-tip to sneeze. could it lead to nasal allergies aside from being induced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sneeze is OK: Having an allergy means that your body has created an abnormal immune response (by immunoglobulin e) to an allergen. Simply tickling the nose to get a reflex sneeze will not induce your immune system to react to allergens.
