The sneeze center then sends a message to all the muscles that have to work together to create the amazingly complicated process that we call the sneeze. Our eyelids shut down as part of that reaction, but it's one of science’s big mysteries as to why. We think it is an involuntary response, a reflex, like when our leg jerks after being tapped on the knee. What could be causing it? You may shut our eyelids so that when we sneeze out germs they don’t fall on our eyes. Or maybe our eyes shut because they are one of a series of muscles that tighten during that involuntary response. ======================= *LEARN Sanskrit*🙏🏻 =======================  भोजनं अभवत् वा ? = Have you had lunch ? =======================  🤔 *HOW IT WORKS* ⁉ ======================= *How ball pen ink is made?*   Ballpoint pen ink is normally a paste containing around 25 to 40 percent dye.
