Today’s current events discussion included information on why you should NOT hold in a sneeze:

“A man in Leicester, England, turned up in the emergency room.  He had a hard time swallowing.  He felt a popping in his swollen neck.  Eventually, the patient lost his voice and spent a week in the hospital eating through a tube–all because he pinched his nose shut and closed his mouth when he needed to sneeze! . . . . . God designed sneezes to get viruses and bacteria out of our bodies.  And sneezes move at about 150 miles per hour! . . . .” (World Kids, Vol. 4, No. 4, March/April 2018)

“Ewww, I SO did NOT need to know that!”
