I sneeze when I eat chocolate.

perclissigi · 08-07-2006, 11:45 AM

I'm allergic to all fruit, it makes my throat swell, i feel sick and my lips burn, its worse with bananas and melon.
I'm also affected by some fresh veg, and avacados (wherever they fall).
If it's cooked, or a pasteurised juice, i'm fine.
Fuck knows why this happens, cus i actually really like fruit!
It came on when i was about 9 or 10, the same time i started getting hay fever.

I got a friend that sneezes every time he looks up at the sun. Didn't believe him but he showed me. He looked up and after 5sec he sneezed.

About 25% of people (myself included) do actually sneeze when exposed to bright lights like the sun. The signals from your eye to your brain are somehow also received by the part of your brain which deals with the sneeze reflex. This means that when your brain is being told to contract your iris in response to increased light it also thinks that it is being told to produce a sneeze.

A good thing I don't have that kind of response to yawning, otherwise I'd always have a soggy seat at work.
