Photic Sneeze Reflex
Photic sneeze reflex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anyone else have this? It's pretty pervasive. I usually sneeze twice when I have to look near the sun, sometimes three times. I'm rather sensitive to it, I can sneeze when I have to look at bright reflections.

I do that. Usually only once, sometimes twice. It's rather irritating, especially considering I live in a desert.

That sounds like it could be seriously annoying. I'm glad I don't have it. Hell, I hadn't even heard of it before now.

I actually use the sun or brightlight to force myself to sneeze when I feel one coming. I cannot stand having to sneeze and then nothing happening. So whenever I feel one coming I automatically look up and hope I catch some light to force out the sneeze.

Meh.. I could have swore I made a thread about this a long time ago. Must have been at another forum.
I am also a solar sneezer, been doing it all my life. My dad has told me about how when I was a baby they would put the sun in my face and laugh at me when I'd start sneezing. I found that oddly disturbing way to get amusement from you child but eh no harm no foul.

When I first started to notice I kept sneezing whenever I was first out in the sun, I thought I was allergic or becoming allergic to sunlight. My parents didn't have an answer to this either. I'm glad somebody found this out.
A mystery in my life is finally cleared up. 1 down, many more to go...
