I know this idea seems a bit hackerish ( no offense ) but I actually had real conversations about this with friends and family so I think it's qualified.

I often sneeze often several times at once when i look at the sun or just a bright light.
Appearently it's called the Photic sneeze reflex

There is even a damn support group for it

So does anyone else have this freaky ass condition

I know what your talking about, I don't have the condition, atleast I don't think I do, but I do use the sun and lights to trigger sneezes that just won't come out. I don't sneeze everytime I look at them though.

Sunlight makes me sneeze every time. Usually if I have to sneeze, but for some reason I can't, I can look at a lightbulb and its the equivalent to a feather on my nose. From what I read in the past its more common than I though.

My father has it. Leaving early for a fishing trip, then having the sun rise into his eyes ensured a multi-hour car-ride of sneeze fits from a giant older smoker guy.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

Damn, I get that too and I've always been curious about it. I actually think its quite an interesting topic for a thread, and the links are not bad.

Sometimes I get headaches in even remotely bright light, but no sneezing...

Ive actually heard that if you have to sneeze, looking at a light will make you not sneeze, guess thats wrong though.
