Sneezing politely

I notice that some of my (usually female) friends tend to hold their sneezes in cuz they probably think it's politer and stops them from spraying their germs all over the place.
Isn't this dangerous? Does it thrust a load of pressure into your head/brain or something?

Yes your heart does actually stop.
Although one of my old friends used to genuinely sneeze like that, it was quite sweet.
Whereas I do the traditional 'achoo' noise quite often, although it isn't always the same.
I always look up at a light if I feel a sneeze coming on, sets it off like magic... although it does make you look like you're having a fit sometimes... rolling your eyes to the back of your head and stopping with your head facing up in the air for a couple of moments.
Does anyone else knee always jerk upwards when they sneeze too?
Usually manage to miss my head, but I did actually once knee myself in the forehead... hurt somewhat.
