    Here's one for ya!.

    When I have a big sneeze, you know a real lung clear out, there is a strange smell afterwards. I have been told that the smell is ozone. Is this true and if so how does the Ozone occur?

    Does anyone know about anything this?

    Has anyone experienced this when sneezing?

    i hear ya w/ the strange smell bit but ozone doesnt sound like a likely answer. ozone is a toxic gas usually created out of oxygen molecules that happen to be lying around a really high voltage. you wouldnt generate enough in your nose.

    Far as I know, the smell that a photocopier generates if you do a lot of copying is ozone. The high intensity light from the copier gererates the odd molecule. Doubt sneezing could do it though.
