0 Question: why do we sneeze? Asked by poppilou to Mariam, Jo, Iain on 21 Jun 2010 in Categories: General.
Joanna Watson answered on 16 Jun 2010:
We sneeze whenever there is something irritating the lining on the inside of our nose, like dust or pollen. Sneezing helps to force the things that shouldn’t be in our noses back out again.

I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to that, but take a look at this article, I think it explains it fairly well: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=why-do-we-sneeze
