    I'll pass because this could actually be counterproductive.


    I'm a photic sneezer, meaning that when I go from areas of low light to bright light - especially sunlight, I sneeze, usually 3 to 5 times. It's a problem with my wiring. My trigeminal nerve runs too close to my optic nerve and overstimulation of optic trips the sneeze reflex as the impulse jumps to the trigeminal.


    No, it's not cool; it's a pain in the ass, especially in January when it's blindingly sunny and there's snow. No, it's not rare; one in ten people have photic sneeze disorder.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Also, cold and bright sunlight make my eyes water.


    Yes, the Sun is trying to kill me.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I know how you feel. I have a tendency to get a rash and burst into flames when in direct sunlight.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I have the exact same condition. I know it sounds retarded, but bright lights make me sneeze, almost without fail.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I hope you don't work for Dunder Mifflin. That, along with anal fissures, surely isn't covered under their benefits plan.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Count me in as another sunlight sneezer! Although I don't think sticking a light up your nose would trigger the problem.

    Now you guys know. You're not crazy. You have bad wiring which leads to sunlight making you sneeze.

    @OMG! Ponies!: This is actually something they test for in pilots. I am sorry to say this, but you cannot fly bombing raids for your country in Iraq.

    @badhatharry: That's a shame, because at 5'3", I am short enough.


    Of course, my eyesight is terrible (~20/400), but they don't test eyesight, do they?
