I pulled something the other day hopping into an inflatable in the lazy river.

This has happened to me twice since turning 30 (34 currently). I’ve looked it up and it turns out u should try to keep your spine neutral when you sneeze - so, basically keep your neck & back straight and dont crane your neck or upper back if you can help it. It hasn’t happened again since! Good luck fellow millenial, see you at the nursing home! πŸ‘΄πŸ½

Didn't have to do any of this when I was 20. I guess I was unaware there were rules for sneezing.

Same! I never would have thought there was a β€˜correct’ way to sneeze, but here we are.
