Are you saying you're allergic to the sun? hehe
I know that looking at light (like a lamp/the sun) can bring on a sneeze that's already in the making. Interesting tidbit from Wikipedia: "Photic sneeze reflex (also referred to as sun sneezing, photogenic sneezing, or whimsically called ACHOO syndrome, a backronym for Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome) is a medical condition by which people exposed to bright light sneeze. The photic sneeze reflex can also cause one to sneeze many times consecutively. The condition occurs in 17% to 25% of humans, with more common occurrence in Caucasians than others. The condition is passed along genetically as an autosomal dominant trait." |

Thanks Jean! Now, why didn't I check out wilkepedia?
Yes, it does happen even with regular household lights, as well. I've heard it only occurs with a certain percentage of the population, but never knew why. Again, thanks for the tidbit o' info! Weirrrrrrd! lmao, Dane! |

sunlight. Happens to me too |
