An interesting story about the Photic Sneeze Reflex [0]: it's one of the things that fighter pilots are screened for. The reasoning is that they can't have a pilot looking down and dark ground, look up to scan for enemy fighters and start sneezing. Some people with the reflex can also have multiple sneezes in a row. I find this all fascinating as: - I have this - I was also born with no sense of smell | ||||||||

I think I just learned that I have this! I usually sneeze when walking out of the house into the morning sun. And regardless of what makes me sneeze, it's rarely just one or two at a time. | ||||||||

I have this as well, and all my kids seem to as well. Never knew that it was part of fighter pilot screening, that is interesting. | ||||||||

Do you like to eat? Or do it out of a sense of duty? | ||||||||
