I've always said I'm allergic to the sun. I never knew it was a real condition. No wonder when I tell everyone to look at a light when they need to sneeze it doesn't work for them. Thanks Ask Gothamist!

Couldn't it just be that you're sneezing more because your outside exposed to a greater number of allergens than to the sun itself?

I have the same problem too. Also, I usually sneeze a couple times after my first drink too. I'm glad I'm not the only one that does.

I had no idea this wasn't something that happened to everyone. Now I feel special because I know I have a congenital malfunction in my trigeminal nerve nuclei and other people don't!

Back in the 80s when I was working on Wall Street and producing Grace Jones records in my spare time, there was this one fool who would honk it right after he snorted a line, like every time. The blow would just go flying everywhere and he'd come out of the stall looking like a powdered donut. It was cool though. Money was easy back then and it became like our little in-joke. But then Ivan Freaking Boesky had to go and ruin everything with all that LBO bullshit and ... and well, you know the rest. Naturally, Sneezy Dwarf had to start getting his lines when the rest of us were good and damn well finished.

I wrongly assumed that sunlight made everybody sneeze. Staring at a bright fluorescent lightbulb sets me off sometimes. There -- I did it just now for kicks.

I always sneeze about ten times in a row after a few drinks, right when I reach a healthy buzz.

I am a sunlight-sneezer, too. I always wondered what caused it...and why I was the only person I knew who was one! Now I can finally put my curiosity to rest...and I hope you can too, Will. Thanks, Ask Gothamist!
