maize Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Mine is chocolate--dark chocolate, which I love. Always makes me sneeze on the first bite: two sneezes in row, then I'm done and can enjoy the rest of the chocolate. Unfortunately this gives me away to my kids when I am sneaking chocolate just for myself and don't want to share! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimm Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) The sunlight thing is pretty common. Middle child has always sneezed, and still does to this day. It'll happen sometimes when simply walking into a bright room from a dark room. :) ETA: One of my siblings (can't remember which) would sneeze when they got cold. Like on a warm day, eating a big milk shake or slushy or something, they would start shivering and sneeze a few times. :) Edited February 4, 2017 by Mimm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I discovered my nephew sneezes when he gets full. I was with him at a meal and suddenly he started sneezing several times. He remarked that he was very full and his body was reminding him. Go figure! I had never heard of that before but he assured me he's been like that for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleBears Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Ok so this is not unusual, but pepper makes me sneeze A LOT. I feel like the queen of hearts from Alice in Wonderland whenever I use it. It's ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) I only recently learned that not everyone can make themselves by sunlight or looking into a bright light. My dh thought I was nuts and I couldn't believe neither of my children have this ability. Choking makes me sneeze. After a coughing spell from something going down the wrong pipe I will have a sneezing fit. Edited February 4, 2017 by kewb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Besides the usual things--allergies, colds--I'll sneeze if I smell cigarette smoke or strong perfume/cologne. But the oddest thing that makes me sneeze is exercise--not during, but nearly always when I stop exercising I'll have a sneezing fit. I keep telling dh I'm allergic to exercise but he doesn't seem to believe me. :p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASHomeschooler Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 NyQuil - always a couple big sneezes immediately after taking. Strong mint will usually make me sneeze, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I used to think the sunlight sneezing was all in my head. The day I realized it wasn't was such a huge weight off my shoulders. :huh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Drinking bourbon. Doesn't happen with the drinking of the grapes ;), but when I've had a few glasses of bourbon my nose runs and I sneeze a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*LC Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Rubbing the inside corner of my eye next to my nose makes me sneeze repeatedly. Years ago, an ENT gave me a shot to stop headaches that were thought to be caused by my nose. I can't remember if it stopped my headache at all, but it did stop the sneezing from rubbing the inside of my eye for 24 hours. I mentioned it to the doctor on my followup visit, but he had no explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always makes me sneeze on the first bite: two sneezes in row, then I'm done and can enjoy the rest of the chocolate. Me too. I grade chocolate by the number of sneezes. Two sneeze is good stuff. Four sneeze is exceptional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
