Yes, you could sneeze your head off! Make sure your head is on straight and you don't have a screw loose before sneezing.

No, it's not bad for you.......unless you try to suppress it while it's going on . God invented sneezing so it can clear our nose and sinuses and throat of dust and allergens and other irritants. Almost all animals sneeze. When my frined's 14 month old baby girl sneezed on Christmas Day, it was cute ( as long as she's not sick )

Sneezing is a natural body reaction to particulates in the nasal cavity. Ancient cultures believed that evil spirits could enter the body whilst sneezing, hence the reson for blessing people who sneeze.

Sneezing while driving can be bad for you since your eyes usually close while sneezing.
Sneezing typically occurs when foreign particles or sufficient external stimulants pass through the nasal hairs to reach the nasal mucosa.
Sneezing is also triggered by sinus nerve stimulation caused by sinus infection and allergies.
Outside of irritating foreign particles, allergies or possible illness, another stimulus is sudden exposure to bright light - a condition known as photic sneeze reflex.
A rarer trigger, observed in some individuals, is the fullness of the stomach immediately after a large meal. This is known as snatiation and is regarded a medical disorder passed along genetically as an autosomal dominant trait.
Sneezing cannot occur during sleep
To avoid the possibility of spreading disease (such as the flu), one should hold the forearm or the inside of the elbow in front of one's mouth and nose when sneezing. Using one's hand for that purpose is inappropriate, since it promotes spreading germs through commonly touched objects (most notably doorknobs).
In Ancient Greece, sneezes were believed to be prophetic signs from the gods
In certain parts of Eastern Asia, particularly in Chinese culture, Japanese culture and Vietnamese culture, a sneeze without an obvious cause was generally perceived as a sign that someone was talking about the sneezer at that very moment.
