Always intransitive — you cannot 'sneeze something' directly. To describe where the air goes, use a prepositional phrase such as 'sneeze on', 'sneeze into', or 'sneeze over'. The fixed phrase 'nothing to sneeze at' is a separate idiom meaning 'worth considering seriously' and does not follow this sense's grammar.

Countable noun — you can refer to one sneeze or several sneezes. It does NOT mean 'a cold' or 'an illness'; use 'a cold' or 'a runny nose' for that meaning.
