Do you ever sneeze when sudenly looking at bright lights? Cause i just found out its a thing not everyone does.

For example I often sneeze when I look up at the sun, or if I suddenly see a car light at night. I was talking about it with my sister and she thought I was an idiot hahaha. 😅

I thought that was a thing for everyone too.

Yeah, it's a photic sneeze. My friend does it. I think about one in four people do, but the majority don't. The only time I sneeze is if I leave a warm house on a very cold day. Not sure if everyone does that.

Actually I’ve heard of this before. It doesn’t happen to me, but I’ve heard other people mention it.

@Mbingh01 haha it is pretty random.
It's just today I sneezed three times and my sister asked me if I was sick, and when I was like "nah the sun made me sneeze" she gave me a 'lol what' type of face haha.

@SeductiveCactus the body can do some pretty strange things, that’s for sure!

It is autosomal dominant compulsive helio-ophthalmic outbursts of sneezing, anyone with a certain gene does it.

Most people don't, it is a genetic thing.

@Subsumedpat I didn't know it was genetic haha, I'm totally gonna ask my whole family tomorrow 😂

@SeductiveCactus But you still might be the only one in that family who has that particular gene.
