Why is it possible for milk to come out your nose? Best

9 comments:

  1. It is possible for milk to come out of our nose because your mouth and your nose share the same throat, or tunnel. When you drink milk or any kind of drink, pressure is exerted from when you laugh or can't breath. It causes the drink that you are drinking, in this case it is milk, to come out of your nose. Usually when you laugh or can't breath, your air way is blocked by the milk, so it has to come out of the nose it order for the mouth to be clear.

    Also, did you know milk can come out of your nose? Watch this video, put be prepared!

    Here are the sources where I got my information from:

  4. This event has definitely happened to me and I always wondered what was the cause of it. First of all, your mouth and nose have a connection in your throat. So when a person laughts, the pressure in your body causes the milk you are drinking to push up and enter your nose and flow out.

  5. This event has definitely occured before in my life, and I always wondered why beverages come out of my nose and why it hurts so much. I finally found my answer on www.wikianswers.com. On this website, it said that your mouth and nose is connected inside your throat. When someone laughts and they are drinking, the pressure in their mouth builds up; as a result, the milk is pushed upward and into your nose. A way for the milk to come out is simply by breathing through your nose

  6. Have you ever wondered how milk can come out of your nose, well I have found out why. First off, your nose and mouth share the same passageway, so when you laugh the pressure causes the milk to shoot out of your nose. This will happen with any drink. This usually occurs when you are laughing, but also happens when you can't breathe. This is a safety mecahism, that can be exercised by your body in a time of need.
