This paper investigates the hypothetical correlation between two seemingly unrelated phenomena: (1) experiencing a suppressed sneeze reflex—colloquially known as a “near-sneeze”—and (2) discovering a dead Erinaceus europaeus (hedgehog) in a decorative birdbath. The study approaches these observations from mechanistic, biochemical, and surreal perspectives, aiming to determine whether there is any structural, functional, or symbolic similarity. After extensive analysis, it appears that no causal or metaphorical link can be established between the two entities. The conclusion is that the simultaneous observation of both phenomena is nothing more than a coincidence of unrelated incidents.
