The time it takes me to go from completely unsuspecting to full convulsive sneezing is approximately 2 seconds shorter than it takes me to safely put down an extremely hot cup of tea.
The best anti-sneezing method I've ever encountered--which I once used for over an hour and a half to keep from sneezing during an important poetry reading of a friend of mine!--is to say "pineappble, pineapple, pineapple." It doesn't have to be audible, but one must make the motions with one's mouth, and expel some air in doing so. And, it works great! So, if you know one is on the way, but you have a blazing rod of metal in your hand (or what-have-you!), that's a good way to avoid it for long enough to put whatever it is down.
