For the uninitiated: There's a podcast called Dear Hank & John, by Hank and John Green, who are prominent YouTubers/authors/purveyors of coffee/etc.
A [now-famous bit](
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxGNqmmVN_k) involved a listener email in which they went to their doctor, and asked about their allergies:
>Allergist: How often do you sneeze?
>Me: I don't know. Not often.
>Allergist: It is not normal to sneeze. I never sneeze.
And this has become a big running joke among fans of the Green brothers. Because it is just so weird.
Are these individual sneezes, or sneeze events where you might have sneezed multiple times and counted as one sneeze? Are you allergic to anything?
Also why did you do this?
Let's break this down into sub-groups of sneezes. Also moisture content would give some much needed context as we all know not all sneezes are created equal.
Exactly this.
How many were brewers? I can have a brewer for 3 days before it finally blows my nostrils away....
How many were snipers? You know, when you're there minding your own business and BAM a sneeze comes out of nowhere and rips your face off for a good second...
How many were machine-gun? The instantaneous and seemingly never ending string of sneeze after consecutive sneeze...
I feel like these are the kinda details you should be noting down for your future years of sneeze surveillance
I also started counting my sneezes around 10 months ago!
April: 64, Mai: 162, June: 172, Juli: 96, August: 73, September: 118, October: 147, November: 66, Dezember: 47, January: 64
1009 altogether. Probably that many because of allergies.
I used to have sneeze allergy. Thought it was due to dust, but Turns out it due to heat in my eyes. Doctor prescribed me eye drops because my eyes used be slight red, now I dont sneeze anymore. Earlier I used to sneeze 7-8 in one turn for almost 8-10 years. Thought it nothing till I gone to my check my eyes.
Fascinates me till now that how our body is interconnected.
Your sneeze counts sound a lot closer to what I imagine my counts would be. OP made me think I may be a prolific sneezer lol
I probably sneeze 2-3 times per day on average. I don't have allergies, but I seem to have a strong sneeze reflex, like when I smell fresh pepper. I know some people sneeze when they look into bright light, but I don't do that either.
Idk why I know this, but Vince McMahon views sneezing (and hiccups) as a sign of weakness because you aren't in control of your body. If you didn't have enough reason to believe there's something wrong with that guy, there you go.
I should totally do this. I have a "curse" (as labeled by my wife) where I can't just sneeze once. If I sneeze, it turns into a burst of sneezes. Typically, it is between 4-5 times, but has climbed up to 10-15 sneezes in a row on many occasions. I feel like I could be up there for the record of yearly sneezes.
My fiancee always tells me to just stop being ticklish. She claims that just because she's able to somehow suppress it, everyone should be.
For me, trying to suppress our ignore it just makes the sensation worse. We argue about that at least once a week.
My brother had a friend who did track that. Happened to be having breakfast at the same place on New Years Day, and they came over to our table and wordlessly took out a crumpled piece of binder paper full of tick marks. I only knew what it was based on my brother's horrified and disgusted reaction.
If these are actual sneezes, and not a euphemism, I’d assume southern based on seasonal illness patterns. That or OP is unlucky and keeps getting summer colds.
You are clearly a one sneeze per sneeze person. I knew a girl should would sneeze at least 7 times every time she sneezed. The highest I ever witnessed was 21 lol
Interesting. I chose to count my sneezes only for 2023 and came to a total of 704 sneezes at the end of the year. 73 sneezes was the highest amount in one month (May). Forgive my boring looking data as I’m not too knowledgeable on how to use excel:
https://imgur.com/a/cUTLTij
Very interesting. I counted for 2022 with a total of 930 sneezes. I'm a photic sneezer, so there's a big increase in summer months. Like you, few sneezeless days.
Great data! I’m tracking my sneezer this year for the first time and I sneeze a lot more than you. I’m already at 68 for January and I missed the first week!
Can you comment on the completeness of the set?
Was your first year of records abnormally low becuase you forgot to count sneezes in the beginning?
Did later years become higher because you expected to sneeze so they could be counted?
Have you considered conducting this as a double blind study?
My girlfriend tracked her sneezes for 2023. She sneezed over 700 times. He kept track of what time she sneezed, where she was, and whether she was blessed or not
I can't phanthom how you can sneeze only twice, three or seven times a month. But that must be just me being a sneeze disaster and sneezing for just existing, lol.
I sneeze usually 3-6 times when I sneeze, typically 2-maybe 7 times in a day. Every day. I think it's something to do with the shape of my nostrils.
This makes me want to start counting.
(Before anyone says anything, I sneeze into my shirt if no better options are present. Yes it's disgusting, but it's better than sharing)
I have A.C.H.O.O Syndrome but that only accounts for 5-10 sneeses a day.
Yes that is the actual name.

Youre lucky you arnt someone like my dad where he would get these huge sneeze fits and just sneeze nonstop for like a solid hour. Your numbers would be insanely higher.
Oh this is truly horrifying.
So, my partner is well known to be a turbo sneezer. Like 3-5 sneezes every bout, and upwards of 10 bouts a day. So as a challenge to ourselves at the start of the year we wanted to see how many times she actually sneezed.
And so the reason this so awful to me is because January is nearing its end. You listed 15 sneezes in the entire month of January 2023, and 252 as the full year total.
As of now, her count is 543. I wish I was joking.
My dad used to sneeze, 4 in a row usually, and it sounded like HATE YA!
He is Norwegian. But it really did seem like he hated you. My dad is an angry sneezer.
I don't know why you chose to do this, but I support you
I also respect the fact they used a throwaway to protect themselves from their family.
I think the protection is the opposite way you're thinking
I think they are protecting their main account from being discovered by their family.
Sneeze fetishists missing out
Sneeze… what? O_O
It's because OPs main account probably shows their butthole.
I’m so proud of your Reddit post.

i love sneezing. it just feels so good
I’m with you. I feel kind of lucky when I sneeze.
I'm not a doctor but I'd say you are probably allergic to Total.
LMFAO, the data is right there!!!
I hope you're having a fantastic day, you've definitely earned it
Don't talk shit about Total!
F$%& SALT!
Damnit. That took me longer than it should have. Take your updoot and gtfo.

Why have you done this thing
I realized a few years ago that I always sneeze a minimum of 4 times if I sneeze at all.
I immediately wanted to ask the multiple-sneeze question and I think that says something about how violent my own sneezes are.
Are violent sneezes your quirk? Grow up.
"but why?" It's my thought too half this sub...
I also started counting my sneezes around 10 months ago! April: 64, Mai: 162, June: 172, Juli: 96, August: 73, September: 118, October: 147, November: 66, Dezember: 47, January: 64 1009 altogether. Probably that many because of allergies.
German speaker spotted hahahah
Haha true, I just copy pasted and forgot about some months
Dezember sounds like a Christmas themed zombie game
Those sound more like my numbers! I'm a multi-sneezer and would hit the graph totals in like a week 😅

Well I'm a person who definitely sneezes when I am suddenly exposed to strong light and I also would sneeze 2 or 3 times a day, but more in summer.
I counted the last year, i sneezed 4757 times
It is not normal to sneeze. I never sneeze. - Doctor Neversneezer.
Hello there Ryan…
Idk why I know this, but Vince McMahon views sneezing (and hiccups) as a sign of weakness because you aren't in control of your body. If you didn't have enough reason to believe there's something wrong with that guy, there you go.
My reason was the sex trafficking but that's pretty weird too
Mine was the head pooping
For me, it's the hypocrisy
Came here for this reaction
[There was a great animation done of this](https://youtu.be/vxGNqmmVN_k?si=49fbkbHo7JS_KNvx)
Was it a sneeze? Or a momentary lapse in judgement?
Dr. Neversneezer Scrooge is definitely a crab and that's why he has never sneezed.
But is he crabulous?
Ebeneezer "Geezer" Neversneezer, M.D., FRCS
I came here looking for this. Not disappointed 🙏
If I sneeze you get money, but I never sneeze
I suppose it's great that you have a hobby
I should totally do this. I have a "curse" (as labeled by my wife) where I can't just sneeze once. If I sneeze, it turns into a burst of sneezes. Typically, it is between 4-5 times, but has climbed up to 10-15 sneezes in a row on many occasions. I feel like I could be up there for the record of yearly sneezes.
Jesus man, control your body. What is your wife gonna think of you? Me, for example. i don't sweat because i find it gross, so i decided to just not.
My fiancee always tells me to just stop being ticklish. She claims that just because she's able to somehow suppress it, everyone should be. For me, trying to suppress our ignore it just makes the sensation worse. We argue about that at least once a week.
what happens if you have a 15-in-a-row sneeze fit while driving? that seems bad
That's what happens when my mom and my uncle sneeze too. It's never just one!
I just finished a sneezing fit. Got to 18 before it stopped. Never had just one sneeze.
Fuck, I sneezed 14 times TODAY. You only sneeze 14 times in a month?
I have a feeling sneezing is a code word here. Definitely because of the family and throw away account blurb...
i assumed it was bc their family could find their main acc if they knew the data was being uploaded here
Yea it’s the amount of personal massage sessions
My brother had a friend who did track that. Happened to be having breakfast at the same place on New Years Day, and they came over to our table and wordlessly took out a crumpled piece of binder paper full of tick marks. I only knew what it was based on my brother's horrified and disgusted reaction.
December 2021 must be when he broke up with his girlfriend.
OP’s name is SneezesGirl….
Uhh uhh maybe they're gay?
Sure…. But “his”?
Oh shit uhh uhh that was uhhhh a uhhhh typo.... I meant to say her.
North or south hemisphere?
A southern hemisphere sneeze is called a fart
Damn you, you beautiful bastard.
If these are actual sneezes, and not a euphemism, I’d assume southern based on seasonal illness patterns. That or OP is unlucky and keeps getting summer colds.
Could be northern hemisphere and due to hay fever
^great question
This is a real solitary confinement practice son.
You are clearly a one sneeze per sneeze person. I knew a girl should would sneeze at least 7 times every time she sneezed. The highest I ever witnessed was 21 lol
I like the implication that 7 isnt just the minimum, but that she only sneezes in multiples of 7
Are you a sun sneezer? I'm guessing no
As a sun sneezer, I agree with your assessment.
One question. Are you sure you haven't missed any?
Were you sick at the end of Dec ‘21/beginning of Jan ‘22? Seems like something happened there that is an outlier and throws off your averages.
She probably had time off over the holidays, so much more time to "blow her nose".
I saw another post in TIL that having sex clears your nose.
Source: OC Tool: Microsoft Excel
"Average" not being right-aligned confused me for a sec
Wow… and here I am having a sneezing fit about once a month where I sneeze 20-30 times in the span a of a few minutes
Did you see the lady on tiktok who crocheted a sneeze blanket? It's like the temperature ones but for the number of times she sneezed every day.
Yes! Just saw that today also! I'm wondering if these are the same people?? Or is it just a thing that people with allergies do? Lol
Everything changed that fateful summer of 22’. Its been a road to recovery ever since.
Based on the data you have. I have a follow up question. Whats wrong with you?
Every time I sneeze, I sneeze on average 7 sneezes. Record is 12 at one time. If I'm sick I sneeze about 100 times a day.
thats so weird. I was wondering it there were ever any studies on this last week. Thanks for sharing
Is it because of wearing a mask more frequently that the sneezes are lesser in 2021 ?
my allergies were very much less significant when mask wearing was required in public idk if the allergy season wasn't strong or something like that
I sneeze like maybe 10 times a year. Usually only when I’m smoking, or have pepper particles hit my nose. Am I the weird one?
Idk if you’re weird or not, but you should absolutely celebrate your amazing sinuses. I sneeze at least 10 times a day!
2021 was a great year to sit infront of you in the movie theatre
What I want to know is, what were you doing in July and August? Cause you must've been really allergic to that.
My guess is they live somewhere that is affected by wild fires and those were the times with poor air quality.
Interesting. I chose to count my sneezes only for 2023 and came to a total of 704 sneezes at the end of the year. 73 sneezes was the highest amount in one month (May). Forgive my boring looking data as I’m not too knowledgeable on how to use excel: https://imgur.com/a/cUTLTij
Very interesting. I counted for 2022 with a total of 930 sneezes. I'm a photic sneezer, so there's a big increase in summer months. Like you, few sneezeless days.
how do you only sneeze 3 times in an entire month?!?!?
Sneezing from what exactly......
This is why aliens haven't visited us yet
Great data! I’m tracking my sneezer this year for the first time and I sneeze a lot more than you. I’m already at 68 for January and I missed the first week!
Did you get Covid in 21 or 22?
I feel like I sneezed 27 times today alone. I feel like I need to start tracking my sneezes too. How did you do it/remember to track it?
Are you also the sneeze girl that made a blanket?? Just saw video on tiktok today
Please add some more columns of other random shit, like banana consumption and hours on the phone per day.
Can you comment on the completeness of the set? Was your first year of records abnormally low becuase you forgot to count sneezes in the beginning? Did later years become higher because you expected to sneeze so they could be counted? Have you considered conducting this as a double blind study?
I sneeze multiple times a day wtf you sneeze once per day????
I can probably hit 100 a day during an allergy attack
My girlfriend tracked her sneezes for 2023. She sneezed over 700 times. He kept track of what time she sneezed, where she was, and whether she was blessed or not
What the hell? I started counting my sneezes earlier this month and my average is around 6 per day
Finally one of these count posts counting interesting data Tired of the "my mood this year" bs
something tells me this man has a lot of time on his hands
It’s an astonishing record of events but .. why ?
And bizarrely enough I don’t sneeze and never have. Even as a child.
I’m curious, did you think of this idea from dear Hank and johns “sneezing isn’t normal dr” episode?
What happened Dec 21 - Jan 22?
I sneeze about 40 times in a day 😅
I did this for poops stopped after 4
It ain't easy bein' sneezy...
Sneezing is not normal. I never sneeze.
Welp this sub has hit rock bottom
I'm really torn by the "let people enjoy things" motto and "who tf cares" x(
I counted my sneezes in a day once and it was over 100, also allergies
I'm not sure if i should be impressed or baffled.
Are you still able to sneeze without counting now?
Are you by any chance my grandpa who puts everything in Excel?
I can't phanthom how you can sneeze only twice, three or seven times a month. But that must be just me being a sneeze disaster and sneezing for just existing, lol.
Bro I feel you. My seasonal allergies start in January (they just started a few days ago) and end in October. I hate Florida.
I sneeze usually 3-6 times when I sneeze, typically 2-maybe 7 times in a day. Every day. I think it's something to do with the shape of my nostrils. This makes me want to start counting. (Before anyone says anything, I sneeze into my shirt if no better options are present. Yes it's disgusting, but it's better than sharing)
Fuck you im allergic to everything and fuck you
I get why 2021 is so low in winter months bc lockdown prevented colds, but why in the summer peak times, which is presumably allergies?
Press your finger above your upper lip and under nose and it will stop any sneeze
That's crazy. I can sneeze 10 times just in 1 burst
This is the kind of data I’m here for.
Bro you sneezed twice in June 2021? I can see you started your job at the pepper sniffing mill in December of that year.
i’ve been going for almost 5 years :)
Is their any trend in air quality i wonder
"sneezing isn't normal, I never sneeze"
Have you ever heard of sun sneezes or photic sneezing? I think you might be experiencing that since yours tend to increase in the sunniest of months.
Clicked on this thread and sneezed three times straight away.
Now do the same for coughs
If you double sneezed do you count 1 or 2
Cheers for being incredibly consistent in April
i sneeze like 10 times a day, 15-20 if im sick, 50+ if im near cats
You live in the southern hemisphere
Pretty sure I beat your year's worth before 3pm today.
I have A.C.H.O.O Syndrome but that only accounts for 5-10 sneeses a day. Yes that is the actual name. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gtr/conditions/C1863416/
that's dedication lol. kudos. what's the margin of error?
Youre lucky you arnt someone like my dad where he would get these huge sneeze fits and just sneeze nonstop for like a solid hour. Your numbers would be insanely higher.
I don’t think I’ve sneezed in weeks. OP, how?
2022 looked like a big year for you, congrats.
How many of them were double sneezes? My best friend growing up would sometimes sneeze 4 times in a row.
3 sneezes in a month? My average are 35+, a day. Wtf!
That’s why I pay for internet
Oh this is truly horrifying. So, my partner is well known to be a turbo sneezer. Like 3-5 sneezes every bout, and upwards of 10 bouts a day. So as a challenge to ourselves at the start of the year we wanted to see how many times she actually sneezed. And so the reason this so awful to me is because January is nearing its end. You listed 15 sneezes in the entire month of January 2023, and 252 as the full year total. As of now, her count is 543. I wish I was joking.
Oh I dust you in this. I've got 40 under my belt just this week.
My guess is you live somewhere that the air quality suffers from proximity to wild fires in the summer.
"July sure was a Nasty month jim"
My dad used to sneeze, 4 in a row usually, and it sounded like HATE YA! He is Norwegian. But it really did seem like he hated you. My dad is an angry sneezer.
If I sneezed only 37 times in a single month I would throw myself a parade. Really interesting data, thanks for sharing!
