That's VEEERY interesting

For as long as I can remember, many times I'll go outside and sneeze--usually twice in a row. It's weird and I never knew what the deal was. Well, apparently, I am not the only one that does this. This phenomenon acually has a name: photic sneezing. Photic sneezing is an inherited trait and 1 in every 3 people "have" it. I learned about it when I was trying to figure out why people sneeze for a story I'm writing. I thought it might be cool if this alien race didn't sneeze so I was trying to see what caused sneezing in case it's kind of important, which now, I think it kind of is. You can learn more about sneezing and photic sneezing at these websites. It's very interesting.
