Weird Things Our Bodies Do

If you feel a sneeze coming on, and it won’t come to fruition; look at the sun 🌞

I rub the roof of my mouth with my tongue and that will make the sneeze happen!!

Drink Sherry and the top of my right arm will ache.

When I had a liver biopsy a common side effect is pain in the right shoulder - I just wonder if yours might be complaining because it doesn’t like sherry!

My nose tingles if I even think about noses....there you go...its started tingling.
I sometimes scratch an itch on my leg and get a sensation on my back.

If I lean against a hard surface or carry a rucksack for any time I get itchy lumps come up usually lasting up to 36 hours, the irritation so intense as to be painful. I have found that a cold wet flannel or ice pack will dissipate the swelling and irritation, but sitting on a hard bench or riding a bike is no longer any fun.

This is rather embarrassing but I’m going to mention it in case anybody else has experienced it, or should I speak to GP?
I suffer with IBS, alternating between constipation and needing the loo several times a day. For the last three years, and it only happens occasionally I get the feeling of impending orgasm when I need the loo quickly. It started the first few days of lockdown in 2020 and is most disconcerting! I am celibate and have been for twenty years but remember what an orgasm feels like!

Honey makes my throat really sore and rough feeling. Apparently it’s a mild allergic reaction, but I always wondered why people eat it as it’s so uncomfortable!

Also, I can’t bear wearing foundation. I can feel it on my face all day, and if it’s anywhere near my mouth I can taste it. If I do wear it I have to wash my face as soon as I get home. Again, I always assumed others felt like that until I talked to friends about how they could bear to wear it. So weird.

Walnuts (my favourite nut) makes me sneeze 🤧.

And don’t shove them up your hooter!

I agree Candelle. UV light is very bad for the eyes.

Yes, I wasn’t advocating that. Sorry again

Cider gives me earache!

Please do not look directly at the sun - it can cause blindness.

Sorry, I meant look in the direction of the sun, sort of encouragingly point your nose towards it.
Even with your eyes shut, the light will make you sneeze.

Bacon cooking has always made me sneeze! 😄

I am teetotal these days but when I used to drink, I would get a pain in my shoulder when I'd had enough. If I carried on drinking past that, I would get a stinking hangover, if I stopped, I'd be fine in the morning.

If I rub the ' V' of my hairline, it makes me shiver.
It is the nail down the blackboard feeling.😱

Certainly not Fanny. I’m used to it now. Funny it is only Sherry though !!

Raw carrots always give me hiccups, however carefully I eat them.

Was this a TV programme which I have missed?
Do you have more information OP?

I’ve only just noticed that it’s under the TV heading
It does sound typical of Channel 5’s fare

I hope that it doesn’t put you off imbibing
I love sherry

If I stroke my inner elbow, I can feel my temple on the same side being stroked too.

This is a brilliant thread! 🤩
Thanks Ali

I don’t recognise the body I see in the mirror, the face is my mother’s though!! Does this count?!

The roots of my hair tingle when I eat horseradish.

I used to be asthmatic when young, thankfully seemed to grow out of it, but if ever I get slightly wheezy, I am given warning by an itch in the middle of my back before it comes on.
