Well That’s Something


Holy crap, I have Achoo Syndrome!  Sorry, random yes, but it’s 1am and I came across a medical article talking about Achoo Syndrome, aka Photic Sneezing.  This was just too randomly mind-blowing not to post.  It’s when someone sneezes when exposed to sudden bright light, like when I walk out of a restaurant or wal-mart or something into the bright sunlight and 99% of the time I squint and sneeze 2 or 3 times.  It’s something I’ve had all my life and while I knew it wasn’t normal or anything, I just ignored it since I sneeze a lot in general.  But now I can sleep better knowing I have Achoo Syndrome!

How’s that for a random factoid right before bed.  I bet you feel 10 times cooler now being able to tell your friends, “yeah, I know a guy who has Achoo Syndrome.”  You know you won’t be able to resist.

My name is Kevin and I’m a sun sneezer.
