You can control a sneeze easily. If you feel a sneeze coming on you can tilt your face down away from the light and this will suppress it. Conversely, looking up into the light will bring it on more quickly.
You can use this technique to bring a sneeze on when you are better to get it over and done with before something that will demand all your concentration. You will not be able to suppress it indefinitly, but you will be able to greatly influence it.

1. Sneeze. There's no stopping it.
2. Once you have stopped sliding along the ground, get back up on your feet.
3. Take off your helmet.
4. Try not to vomit in it when you see what you have filled it with already...
5. Empty helmet.
6. Clean inside of helmet & visor with the rag you always carry in the seat bag.
7. Try to find your bike.
8. If you do find it, pick it up and see if it will still go.
9. If it will run, put gear back on and proceed on your way.
Easy, innit?

So this manager of a Chemist shop comes back from lunch and sees this guy standing by the door holding his nose and mouth going red in the face trying not to sneeze....
He asks the new guy behind the counter whats the story?
Well he came in the shop sneezing constantly and asked me for something to stop the sneezing......so I gave him a good strong laxitive and a glass of water.....
YOU GAVE HIM WHAT? exclaimed the manager LAXITIVES ARE NOT FOR SNEEZING
Well it sure worked on him, said the new guy.....hes to scared to sneeze.....
Me I just let it out get it over with and clean up afterwards.....
I am one of those who suffer from photic sneezing so I get my share of visor cleaning moments
I have found that, when you feel a sneeze 'coming on', putting a finger at the base of your nose (where Hitler kept his moustache) and holding there for a few moments, you can avoid the sneeze.
The other tip, is you could e-mail Michael Schumacher - he'd probably cover 15 k's in the time it took to sneeeeeeze....![]()

Time for me to chip in with my way. It wasn't a serious question as in "I'm scared of sneezing on my bike what should I do". I just got curious.
Personally, I tend to just open the visor and sneeze. I have put my glove into my helmet a couple of times too. I must say though, the absolute WORST thing that I have done is sneezed inside my thermal balaclava. Doh.

Practice makes perfect.
As a long suffering allergic - hayfeverish would be the right term I suppose - I can attest to the fact that if you don't worry about it and get it out of your system you'll most likely be alright. Doesn't matter whether you are riding your bike, snogging, driving a car, conducting a job-interview or having a tug... it'll be alright.
If you are afraid that you might crash because you add a bit of moisture to the inside of your helmet, balclava, whatever, etc. - you need to HTFU. (And if it is visibility you are concerned about, sort you shit out and find a way to handle your fog-problem today.)
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

I put one hand on the top of my helmet and pat my head... the other hand makes circular motions on my belly and stops the sneeze!![]()
