There's actually an old wives tale that if you need to sneeze (you know when one gets stuck?) You can look at a light source and it will make you sneeze.

I do that.

Every morning my father opened my bedroom windows, I would sneeze. I still do if I go outside and the sun is too bright. I read that many people think they have "allergies" to grass, etc...yet they are actually allergic to the SUN and that is what is making them sneeze. It basically said "wear sunglasses" and see if you notice the difference. A huge difference for me.

No, but my boyfriend (NT) does that a lot. I'm actually not particularly sensitive to light, oddly enough.

i used to do that...didn't know it was a wives tale

It isn't, nor could it ever be, on account of being true and all.

I also sneeze a lot in the office, because I have to sit for more than a couple of hours. I can sneeze 4 or 5 times a day
