Do you also sneeze in bright sunlight?

Asked by robmandu (21331points) May 28th, 2008

Well, any bright light really. It’s called the photic sneeze reflex or naso-ocular reflex. Not a 100% thing with me, but when it happens, like sometimes when I go outside, it’s obviously the sunlight hitting my face that triggers it.

I’ve even noticed that if I feel a sneeze coming on, but it’s being elusive, like it might not happen, I can look directly at any light source to bring it on out.

Oh, and it’s genetic, too.
