I guess my question should have been "do viruses cause us to sneeze in order to spread, or do viruses cause us to sneeze because they are irritants?"
In other words, is the body trying to rid itself of the virus? Or is the virus itself causing the sneeze because it has previously benefited from this?

Or, is it both?
