Body hacks are pretty much amazing. Whether they're truly beneficial or not, it's really cool to know the weird things that your body can do. Like giving yourself night vision, for example.
However, I'm here to tell you a hack that you may find useful, and the only instruments used are your thumbs. Of course, it's how to stop yourself sneezing - useful at the theatre, a fancy restaurant, or if a serial killer is in your house and you're hiding in the cupboard.
You may enjoy a sneeze once in a while, but if they're coming in a repeated onslaught or you're on a train and worried about where stray saliva may fly, sometimes you might want to stop one.
A reflexology technique which completely eradicates a sneeze is simple and gives you a wave of 'that's well fucking cool' once you do it.
When an inappropriate sneezing situation proposes itself, and you feel a sneeze building, apply pressure to your thumb to stop it. Take the tip of your right index finger and press down on your right thumbnail until the sneezing feeling goes away
Voila.
The technique is detailed on this website. I know reflexology is a bit of a disputed method, but this one really works.
Thank me the next time you're hiding from a serial killer and a sneeze comes along.
