If I eat something with a strong mint flavour, or sometimes dark chocolate, coffee, cough syrup etc, I almost always sneeze!. It makes my nose itch!. Why!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Same thing happens to me!. like the other person said, you just have a sensitive olfactory system!.

Many people that are "Photic-Sneezers" meaning they sneeze when they go out into bright light, have the same problem!.

Sun makes the eyes water and pupils contract really fast, that's connected to your nose and whatnot, so you sneeze!. Sun-Sneezers most often have reactions to dark chocolate and mints, along with strong gums, and cough syrup, depending on flavor!.

No big deal, you're not allergic, just blessed with a sensitive schnauze!. ;)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your not allergic, you just have sensitive Olfactory nerves!.
surprisingly it's very common, with not just mints but anything minty!.

Me personally sometimes i sneeze when i eat chocolate, mint gum, "Cough syrup", even peanut butter ( dont ask me why)Www@Answer-Health@Com
