ACHOO

We've all sneezed every once in a while. Some of us sneeze due to dust in our noses, and other seemingly normal reasons. Others due to allergies. But have you ever heard of a Photic sneezer?

A photic sneezer is someone who is suffering from Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophtalmic Outburst. This is a medical condition where the person sneezes involuntarily upon exposure to bright light. The number of sneezes following the exposure ranges from an average of 2 to three to about 40 sneezes. ACHOO!!!

You would think that this is a very rare case, but you would be surprised by the results. In a study done in a medical school, 23% of its students were suffering from it. The syndrome occurs in men and women alike, having a likely chance of being passed down from parent to child. Yes. It's a hereditary condition.

So the next time you come out from the dark into sunshine and you find yourself sneezing your butts off, perhaps you have ACHOO!!!

Sneeze away my friends....Sneeze away.
