"I think I may sneeze."
"A Klingon sneeze?"
"Only kind I know.
"
– Worf and Geordi La Forge, 2364 ("Angel One")

A sneeze is a convulsive expulsion of air through the nose. It is a reflex induced by nasal irritation. Sneezing can be a symptom of an illness or allergy, or, alternately, an isolated incident induced by exposure to a particular irritant.
