Did you know approximately 25 percent of population sneezes on first contact with the sun? :)

It's called the the photic-sneeze reflex, where sternutation (sneezing) occurs upon contact of the sun's ultraviolet light on the lower eyelid.

It's inherited :o and I wonder how many of you have it :o
I myself have it all the time >_<

Most people don't even know something like this exists :>

Note that many of the people answering the poll haven't seen the sun for the past several years...

No the 25 percent are people that actually have it every time they go outside :) not even looking at a particularly bright sky or anything, as long as it's day and there's sunlight ;)

I get it in winter too, at least 1 day in the week, in the morning when I just go out for the first time.

Sneezing is a funny feeling though ^____________^
