Challenge Day 209

209. Sneeze: Write about things that make you sneeze.

When I was thirteen, a GF told me that if I was on the verge of sneezing but it would not come out, that if I looked at the sun, the sneeze would be encouraged to be completed. I found out through the years that it was not just the sun that could help, but any bright light like a light bulb could facilitate a sneeze. This year, I learned that this did not happen for everyone but that it was a genetic feature. Today I learned that this response is called the photic sneeze reflex also known as Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst (ACHOO) syndrome. ACHOO 😊 pretty cute.
