Question

Why, when u look at the sun it makes u sneeze???

Answer 1

Ah, you're one of the few, so am I!  I think only about 25% of the population have that reaction.  You and I suffer from "Photic Sneeze Reflex," and it's a genetic quirk that is still unexplained by science!  Here is a web link with more information about it.

Answer 2

Interesting. I always wondered this too. I am the same way. If I look at a bright light it will help induce a sneeze if one is coming on.

Cool...so it's sort of a short circuited nerve.

Thanks for the question...and the folks that answered too.

Answer 3

I think you have disorder. Sun don't causes sneezing when you look at it.

Answer 4

it's because two special nerves in some people's heads are close to each other. When you see a bright object, the nerve responsible for vision sends a signal to the brain. If the signal is strong it may influence the nerve "responsible for sneezing".

sorry for my bad knowledge of physiological terminology

Answer 5

when you look at bright lights it sends recepting messages through your nostrals to the nerves in your brain and sets off a chain reaction and makes you sneeze. it happens when you look up at anything bright for a little bit.

Answer 6

More of a sensory overload.
