I’m a Sun Sneezer

March 8th, 2007

Photic sneeze reflex (also referred to as sun sneezing, photogenic sneezing, or whimsically called ACHOO syndrome, a backronym for Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome) is a medical condition by which people exposed to bright light sneeze.”

Do you have ACHOO syndrome? I think I do.

    I do. When I go outside from someplace that’s cold. I also sneeze when I get a chill – usually when the AC kicks on at work – and then I get goosebumps and a little chill, so I sneeze again, then more goosebumps and more sneezing! It’s a vicious cycle I tell ya!
    I’ve heard it called Non-Allergic Rhinitis too.

    I’m telling you, it runs in families. Dad and I sneeze in the sunlight too. I tell people I’m allergic to the sun. Looking at the paleness of my skin, you can believe it. I’m pigmentally challenged!

    I have the sun sneeze thing as well. In fact, I have it for chocolate too. I have to eat it very slowly :)
