Health

Warning: Stifling sneezes can be health hazard in rare cases Man who suppressed sneeze by pinching his nose suffers ruptured throat, swollen neck and lost voice in ‘exceedingly rare’ case in the UK MARIA CHENG

Associated Press ‌

LONDON — Tempted to stifle a loud or untimely sneeze? Let it out instead, doctors in England warned Monday based on the very unusual case of a man who ruptured the back of his throat when he tried to suppress a sneeze.

In a case study published in the journal BMJ Case Reports, doctors described their initial confusion when the previously healthy man turned up in the emergency room of a Leicester hospital, complaining of swallowing difficulties and “a popping sensation” in his swollen neck.

The 34-year-old patient told them his problems started after he tried to stop a forceful sneeze by pinching his nose and closing his mouth. He eventually lost his voice and spent a week in the hospital.

“When you sneeze, air comes out of you at about 150 miles per hour,” said Dr. Anthony Aymat, director for ear, nose and throat services at London’s University Hospital Lewisham, who was not involved in the case. “If you retain all that pressure, it could do a lot of damage and you could end up like the Michelin Man with air trapped in your body.”

While examining the sneezeaverse patient, doctors in Leicester heard “crackling in the neck” down to his ribcage, a sign that air bubbles had seeped into his chest. Worried about infection and other possible complications, they admitted him to the hospital, gave him a feeding tube and administered antibiotics, according 6 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com

Doctors in England say stifling a big sneeze can be hazardous for your health in rare cases, based on the very unusual experience of a man who ruptured the back of his throat when he tried to stop a sneeze.

to details published in BMJ Case Reports.

Dr. Zi Yang Jiang, a head and neck surgeon at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, said he sees one or two cases arising from repressed sneezes each year, making them an “exceedingly rare” occurrence.

Jiang said it was bizarre that a single sneeze could generate enough force to cause the kind of physical damage that usually results from trauma, such as a gunshot wound to the neck. A collapsed lung is among the problems that retaining the air from an imminent sneeze can cause, he said.

“The whole point of sneezing is to get something out of your body, like viruses and bacteria, so if you stop that, those may end up in the wrong part of the body,” he said. Jiang said in most cases, the excess air is later absorbed by the body.

The English patient made a full

recovery and was advised to avoid plugging his nose while sneezing in the future. Doctors recommend letting sneezes rip into a tissue instead.

“The safest thing to do — although it’s not socially acceptable — is just to sneeze loud,” Aymat said.

Super snacks

Kitchen Wise

Associated Press

Potato skins baked with roasted garlic rosemary butter and an onion kale dip spiked with fresh chiles. This dish is from the recipe “Decadent Snacks for the Super Bowl” by Sara Moulton.

Super snacks: Baked potato skins and onion kale dip Use the for the Super Bowl, awards shows, you name it SARA MOULTON

Associated Press‌

I’m not really sure why, but when sports fans assemble in front of their TVs to watch the Super Bowl, major sustenance seems to be required. The big game clearly inspires its viewers to go big.

This recipe is made to order for the occasion. In fact, it’s two recipes. The first is for potato skins lathered with roasted garlic rosemary butter and baked until crispy. The second is for onion kale dip spiked with fresh chiles (a variation of the classic spinach and onion dip).

You can bake and scoop out the potatoes a day ahead of time — saving the innards for delights such as hash browns or shepherd’s pie — then just slather the skins with the butter and

pop them into the oven about 15 minutes before the game starts.

You can also prepare the dip the day before. Convenience aside, the dip’s flavor will improve if it’s allowed to sit in the refrigerator for a while.

Both dishes can be made healthier. Brush the potato skins with olive oil (mixed with garlic and rosemary) instead of butter and replace half of the sour cream with non-fat Greek yogurt. Taste-wise, you’re welcome to swap in spinach

for kale, if that’s your preference. As for the chiles, I call for chopped fresh jalapenos, but you can replace them with pickled jalapenos, minced chipotles in adobo or hot sauce.

And if you don’t like spicy food, leave out the chiles.

Each of these recipes is more than capable of standing on its own (although if you roll with the dip, you’ll need to serve your favorite chips or crackers in place of the potato skins).

But together? Touchdown!

Decadent Snacks Start to finish: 4 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 8 to 10 FOR THE DIP: ■■ 1 cup finely chopped onion ■■ 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil ■■ 5 ounces baby kale, coarsely chopped ■■ 2 ounces light cream cheese ■■ 1 1/2 ounces finely grated ParmigianoReggiano ■■ One 8-ounce container sour cream ■■ 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno with the ribs and seeds, or to taste ■■ 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice ■■ Kosher salt FOR THE POTATO SKINS: ■■ 3 pounds russet potatoes ■■ 1 head garlic (about 2 inches across) ■■ 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened ■■ 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary ■■ Kosher salt Make the dip: In a large skillet cook the onion in the oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the kale, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until all of the kale is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cream cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano and stir until the cream cheese is melted. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the sour cream, jalapeno, lemon juice and salt to taste. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

Make the potato skins: Preheat the oven to 400 F. Prick each potato several times and arrange them on a rimmed sheet pan.

Cut off and discard the top quarter of the head of garlic, wrap the garlic in foil and add it to the sheet pan. Roast the potatoes and garlic in the lower third of the oven until the potatoes are very tender and the garlic is very soft, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (The garlic may be done before the potatoes.)

Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the potatoes and garlic cool for 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 F. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, and then each half in thirds lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, (reserving it for another use) and leaving a 1/4-inch thick layer of potato on the skin. Into a small bowl squeeze out the garlic. Add the butter, rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the bowl; mash and mix well using a fork.

Arrange the potato wedges on the sheet pan, skin side down, and divide the garlic butter evenly among the top sides of the wedges, spreading it to coat all of the surface. Bake the wedges on the lower third of the oven until golden and crisp, about 18 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let cool briefly on a rack before serving.

Old Sturbridge Village keeps New England charm alive

BY TERRY TURNER‌

STURBRIDGE, Mass. – Old Sturbridge Village is an outdoor living history museum that shows visitors what life was like in the 1830s. It was a time that was a generation before the Civil War and the American Revolution was a distant memory.

The Village was founded by industrialists and brothers Albert B., Channing M. and Joel Cheney Wells who lived in nearby Southbridge.

Over the years the Wells family had collected thousands of artifacts relating to early New England including tools, utensils, furniture, glassware and clocks. Joel Cheney Wells focused his collecting activities on clocks and paperweights. The brothers decided to display their unique collection in a working 1830’s village so visitors could see how the items were originally made and used.

In 1936 the brothers purchased the former David Wight 153 acre farm in Sturbridge. The site was ideal for what they had in mind. It had sloping meadows, wooded hillsides and the Quinebaug River could provide water power. The property included a sawmill, gristmill and mill pond.

Old Sturbridge Village opened on June 8, 1946. Since that day more than 21 million people have visited the village. The complex of more than 40 antique buildings that now cover more than 200 acres and contains such things as a blacksmith’s shop, sawmill and covered bridge.

Disaster struck the village on August 18, 1955 when Hurricane Diane hit the area.

Gale force winds created flood waters that broke dams in the surrounding towns and flooded Old Sturbridge Village. The damage was estimated to be about $250,000 in 1955 dollars. In spite of all the destruction workers managed to re-open the Village in just nine days.

The first stop on a tour of Old Sturbridge Village is the Country Bank Visitor’s Center to purchase tickets and enter the village. On a recent tour of the village a costumed re-enactor was in the Visitor’s Center demonstrating how brooms were made back in the early 1800s.

There are also displays in the Center showing the early beginnings of the Village.

Attached to the Center is the Clock Gallery where examples of Early American clocks are on display including a large collection of intricately carved grandfather clocks.

Terry’s Turn

Baby, it’s cold (but fun) outside A

s I write this, Siouxland is shivering in 20 below temperatures and 40 below wind chills. It’s colder than a mother-in-law’s kiss out there. These days I try to stay inside and avoid cold weather but it wasn’t that way back when I was a kid.

Back then the colder it was and the more snow on the ground the better. I know there was a huge blizzard in 1949 and although I don’t remember that specifically I do remember there was a lot of snow when I was a kid. And we had fun in it.

When winter weather was in the forecast I would go to bed with visions of snow dancing in my head. I remember one winter when snow was in the forecast and I woke up and rushed into the kitchen where I could listen to the Philco radio sitting on the table. It was there I could find out if school was closed for the day. As I sat listening intently and waiting for the school closings the announcer would laboriously go through all the other news like

a cap and it appeared to be riding on top of the piles of snow. I soon realized it was my buddy Russell from down the street running behind a huge pile of snow along the street.

But now we had to make a decision. Build a snow fort and have a Terry Turner snowball fight, go ice turnert185@outlook.com skating on the nearby pond or get the sleds stock market reports and what pigs were sell- out and go sledding.

Since North Omaha is ing for while I gobbled notoriously flat we went down my oatmeal. with the snow fort.

Finally he got to the It was decided my school closings. “Miller Park is closed,” he said front yard was the perfect location. It was in his best announcer strategically located voice. Then I heard it! with a commanding “Lothrop Elementary view up and down the is closed.” I dropped the toast and ran to my street. Plus I lived next door to the only girl in room to get my coat and boots as my mother the neighborhood and we all agreed it was yelled at me. “Finish a lot of fun throwing your breakfast!” I snowballs at girls. pretended not to hear Construction began at and continued to get a furious pace. We gathdressed. ered snow from around Once outside I was my yard and piled it greeted with a wonhigh around our soon to drous sight. There was be fortress. We worked snow everywhere and at a feverish pace and it it was deeper than I’d was soon completed. ever seen before. As We scanned up and I took in this amazing down the street looking sight I saw something for a target. We all realdown the street. It was

ly hoped for an old man with a top hat to come walking down Evans Street.

We were all in the depths of despair when suddenly my entire world went white.

SPLAT! I got hit in the face with a snowball!

I took off my glasses, wiped off the snow and looked in the direction of some hysterical laughing. It was Sandy my next door neighbor.

We fired back with snowballs of our own but she was already out of range, her laughter fading in the distance.

We kept watch in the fort but to no avail. No old men in top hats and no girls. We all finally got cold and decided to head home but vowed to be back to take up the fight again. When I got home I was almost completely covered in snow. My mother took one look at me and said, “Get those clothes off and get some dry things on!” I took my snowcovered clothes off and draped them on chairs and other furniture to dry out. My mother then guided me into

the kitchen and sat me down to a hot, steaming cup of coco.

As I sat there sipping that delicious brew I looked around at my melting clothes and wondered how long they

would take to dry. From that day forward I will never forget the smell of wet mittens drying by a heat register.
