100 Miles per Hour Breath

After seeing Timmothy's cartoon strip today I thought I'd see if there was anything interesting about pepper and/or sneezing. There is. I knew sneezing could  force your breath out at a high rate, up to 100 miles per hour?

My information and the picture above comes from The Library of Congress. Click on the picture to go to the article I received my information from.

The chemical present in all pepper that causes us to sneeze is piperine. 

The medical term for sneezing is sternutation. 

According to the Flonase website

A sneeze can travel up to 5 feet.

A sneeze can produce 40,000 droplets.

My Real Estate tie-in is that when you purchase a home you may want to wash the walls... especially if the previous occupant died of an illness.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

This is fascinating in a way that I wasn’t expecting today. I will start sneezing was just sneezing, but I guess it’s a powerful thing. :) Thanks for posting, Bob!

Thank you Laura Cerrano . I was surprised at it as well. Two of the facts combined has we wondering: If a sneeze can reach 100 mph why does it only travel 5 feet?

I never have even thought of washing the walls. It sounds like I should! 😳

Ray Henson , in the past I have done this but only because of a home being previously owned by a smoker. Now I see another reason too. I've never investigated how long germs can live so maybe it would not be very important.

When I started my painting career, I was still in high school.  We always had to wash the walls because smokers lived in the house.  We never had to wash the walls later in my career.  It is amazing how much our society has changed.  People just do not smoke in the house any more, Bob "RealMan" Timm.

Good question Michael J. Perry . I subscribe to the group that says "he wouldn't' know his..." 😊

Interesting! Who knew a sneeze could go faster than my car at top speed.

Ignoramus is a good title for such as those you describe Endre Barath, Jr. . Another pet peeve for me is those who do not excuse themselves from the table when they blow their nose. I will never forget a day in Jr High School a class clown (with no class) blew his nose on a piece of bread and showed everyone. I couldn't eat bread for a long time after that.

I sneeze and I have no idea why. What is the cause? The sneezes are powerful! Sometimes two in a row. Sometimes three in a row, but not often. Then...nothing...for hours and days. A mystery as to why it happens.

I think I sneeze a couple times a week and it's one big sneeze. Carol is a minimum of three and she is quite loud as well. Our kids are one or two but not nearly as loud as Carol or I.
