A DeadHorseTrope would be the AntiSneezeFinger, which is holding one's finger under one's nose to "stop it." ...which it might, for a few seconds. Still, it's not much help -- once it starts, an Ill-Timed Sneeze cannot be stopped by any means known to man.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'':
** A helpful example occurs in in "The Smell of Success." At the climax, Tommy and Chuckie are being chased by a bully, when Chuckie's allergy symptoms, which were temporarily cured until this point, suddenly come back. He sneezes a powerful, wet sneeze onto the bully, which causes the bully to fall backward onto a nest of fire ants, which swarm into his pants and make him run away crying.
** In "Mother's Day," when Phil and Lil are trying to think of a present to give their mother, Lil notices a dandelion puff and starts to suggest it as a present, but then sneezes, blasting all the fluff away.

* {{Invoked|Trope}} in ''Fanfic/ThisBites''. While Cross and Soundbite are hiding from Miss Friday in a bathroom stall, Soundbite sneezes. Friday then opens fire on the ''other'' stall, giving Cross a chance to escape. Soundbite reveals his sneeze was a BatmanGambit. Because he knew the Unluckies weren't trusting their sense of hearing anymore after having fought the [{{[Ventriloquism}} ventriloquist]] VoiceChangeling before, he knew she'd assume the sound was being projected to throw her off.
