Sneezing allows your nose or airway to get rid of an irritant, like smoke or dust, says Ramakrishnan, who is also a professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Let’s back up and start with why you sneeze. Before spiraling down too deep a Reddit wormhole, I consulted an expert - Vijay Ramakrishnan, an otolaryngology (the study of conditions of the head and neck) expert - about whether a foul-smelling sneeze really does mean you’re sick. One Redditor likened the odor of their sneezes to “ metal and chemicals,” and another to “ musk and dead animal.” (Lovely.) Some speculated that a stanky sneeze indicated a sinus infection or tonsillitis. Among the most popular: Why does my sneeze smell weird? Although criticized as a haven for misogynists and white supremacists, Reddit also provides a space for people to ponder some of life’s burning questions.
