    shit I still remember a primary school classmate explaining to me:

    one sneeze is from dust
    two sneezes in quick succession are from cold
    three sneezes in quick succession are from allergies

    It’s been 30+ years, someone pls remove this nonsense from my brain 😩

      I’ve never heard of that, but I’ve kind of used it for children. If it’s winter and you hear you kid sneeze, do not worry. If they sneeze again, they are probably barefoot some something, go check on them. 3 times they are either already sick, or allergies

      four sneezes means someone’s thinking of you
      five sneezes means someone’s cutting peppers
      six sneezes is anthrax
      seven sneezes is the absolute physical maximum
