    For as long as I can remember, i've had an odd quirk that when I step out into bright sunlight from a dark room/building/vehicle, I'll sneeze loudly. It's not hayfever, as many people assume, as it only happens when stepping outside on a sunny day (i.e. when there's a change from dark to very bright) Once I'm outside I'll be fine. I'd never really given it much thought, but idly searched google last night and found that it's a real medical condition. Photic sneeze reflex[^]

    "Nobody's exactly sure what causes photic sneeze reflex. I see here in one of the journals we have an impressive discussion of the role of the trigeminal nerve nucleus.

    Basically what this is saying is that you've got a lot of nerves crammed together in the front of your head, and maybe there can can be leakage of sorts from one nerve pathway to another. So perhaps the reflex is just a case of congenitally crossed signals."

            I get that too, though I've never really thought about it either. I quite like sneezing, it's like a mini orgasm that you can have in public without being frowned upon. :rolleyes:
