I've had an attack of the sneezes lately and everyone's saying to look at a bright light--look at the sun!
So I tried it, and doesn't that like burn a retina? Sure, the sneezing stopped, but I can't really see for several seconds afterward. Problematic 'cause then my nose drips and I'm not sure, you know. . .
So who ARE these "Look at the sun!!" people and why do they keep saying this?

My momma always said "don't look at the sun, son"
Clearly, these people are all ophthamologists. They're perfectly shameless in their quest for job security.
Words of wisdom, all. But I still can't see. However, the sneezing HAS stopped, so . . .
Is this a good activity??
Photic sneeze reflex is a medical condition by which people sneeze with sudden exposure to bright light, and possibly also sneeze many times consecutively. It is also referred to as photic sneeze response, sun sneezing, photogenic sneezing, the photosternutatory reflex, being photo sensitive, or even whimsically as ACHOO syndrome with its related backronym Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome. The condition occurs in 17% to 35% of humans. The condition is passed along genetically as an autosomal dominant trait.
Uncanny! I KNEW it was an autosomal dominant trait. THANK YOU, Anon.
