Question:

Who else sneezes when they first go outside on a sunny day?

I always do. It's NOT allergies, just sneeze twice when i 1st go in the sun then i'm done. My dad & brother also do it-my mom says we are weird. My boss also does it as well. We all have blue eyes, think that has anything to do with it?


Answers:

It's called the photic sneeze reflex. It's a defined entity and about 20% of the population have this. It is actually triggered by the optic nerve and the pupils trying to get as small as possible but gets kind of criss-crossed in the brain and produces a sneeze.
