Today I learned about the term Photic Sneeze Reflex. For me it’s very mild and actually kind of advantageous. When I feel a sneeze coming on but it begins to fade I can make it happen by looking directly at a bright light.

I had no idea that not everyone can do this, between 18-35% of people. Also for some it is entirely detrimental, resulting in sneezing fits.

    I can rarely go outside without sneezing. Really annoying on bright days!
