When people sneeze, do they expel more fluid from their mouth than from their nose?
I saw this video (warning: slow-mo video of a sneeze. kind of gross) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNeYfUTA11s&t=79s and it looks like almost all the fluid is coming out of the person’s mouth, not their nose. Is that typical?
(Meta: Wasn’t sure where to ask this question, but I figured someone on LessWrong would know the answer.)
This could be tested by a) inducing sneezing (although induction methods might produce an unusual sneeze, which works differently). and b) using an intervention of some kind.
Inducing sneezing isn’t hard, but can be extremely unpleasant, depending on the method. However, if you’re going to sneeze anyway...
