Do you sneeze when you look at the sun/light?

I do but I don't know a lot of people who do......It's meant to be something like 10 or 15% of the population who have it, but 68% of statistics are made up on the spot so I'm unsure.

I thought it was the same for all. If I feel a sneeze coming on, I automatically look to a light/ the sun to get it out. Always works.

But could you look at the sun and sneeze without needing to sneeze?

I can only imagine Knock must have been full of snots the day the sun was meant to be having a dance in the sky.

I tried it for ages once and didn't sneeze one bit. I did go blind though.

It happens quite often, just a while ago I opened up my laptop, and the screen brightness made me sneeze about 6 times in a row....hense this thread

Never had that.

Eating weetabix makes me sneeze though, not sure why.

It depends on the environment I slept in or was sitting in!

you obviously didn't read the warning label: "May contain sneezes"

I just sneeze all the time , sun/light has nothing to do with it and some spray chemicals or perfumes will set me off straight away but it's called all year round hayfever or another form of Rhinitis .

A good sneeze is a like a good orgasam ie, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ....

Yep, anytime I need to sneeze I just look at the sun/lamp.

If I have a reluctant sneeze; looking at a light usually does the trick.

I don't sneeze everytime I see a bright light though.

It is called Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helioophthalmic Outburst Syndrome or ACHOO Syndrome. Its a pain in the ass when its sunny, like today. Its also genetic
