Dust or pepper tickles the inside of your nose, and suddenly your whole body shakes as air blasts out.

What do we call this super fast, noisy blast of air?

A sneeze
A sneeze is your body's way of blasting out anything irritating that gets into your nose, shooting air out faster than a race car to clear the tickle away.

A sneeze is your body's super fast, noisy blast of air that happens when something irritating, like dust or pepper, tickles inside your nose, forcing air out fast to clear the tickle away.

A hiccup comes from your diaphragm twitching, and a cough clears your throat rather than your nose, neither is the reaction described here.

A sneeze can send air rushing out at surprisingly high speed, which is part of why covering your mouth and nose when you sneeze helps stop germs spreading to others.
