What a bunch of hooey. I don't always sneeze that many times in a row but
when I get started, it is not uncommon for me to sneeze that many times and
more. Yes, it's unpleasant and it can cause you to lose your voice. But I
have never heard of a person dying from sneezing. Not saying that it hasn't
happened though.
