Anonymouse Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yesterday as I was leaving work I heard someone sneezing. A woman was leaving the building a short distance away from me. I'm not sure if her sneezes were photic or if it was just a coincidence that she sneezed after walking out into the sunlight, but she sneezed three times (and had some lovely pre-sneeze expressions I might add).From what I've noticed, people who sneeze from the sunlight tend to sneeze more than once. I love photic sneezes and I love multiples, so I like to think that there's some sort of connection.For those of you who are photic, do you find yourself sneezing more than once or twice from the sunlight? And/or have you observed this in other people as well? Link to comment
retrofan191 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm highly photic, but I can honestly say it only happens once. but then again im not one to really ever have more than a single unless its induced or something, so I might not be the best data. Link to comment
SomeoneRandom Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm photic, and it's usually 2-3 times. Link to comment
Rhomberg Rabbit Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm photic, and it's usually 2-3 times.Same for me. Link to comment
Hollow Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm a photic and I sneeze once or maybe twice. Link to comment
Enkidom Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm photic, but only ever in singles. Link to comment
shy guy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Usually only one, but occasionally twice, and once I actually had a photic triple. Link to comment
Deadsh0t Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I tend not to sneeze in fits from photic, it's usually about 2-3. Can't say I've ever seen someone have a fit from photic, either, which is a shame, because photic is pretty hot. Link to comment
Anonymouse Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Kind of looks like the opposite from what people are saying. Slightly disappointed... But I'll take just one sneeze from sunlight over none at all. Thanks for your responses!(also, retro, I had no idea you were photic. Unless you told me and I forgot. ) Link to comment
retrofan191 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I dont think I ever mentioned it, but yes. very much so. Link to comment
Deadsh0t Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I managed to sneeze a photic multiple last night! We just got this new lamp for my bedside table, and the bulb in it is really randomly bright for some reason. So when I was trying to find where the switch was, and found it, the light was right in my eyes, and I sneezed about five or six times in a row. I think, for me at least, it depends on how bright the light is whether I sneeze in multiples or not. Link to comment
DogLover Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm photic, and I usually sneeze 3 times. But I always sneeze 3 times, so I don't know if they're connected... Link to comment

nolongeractive Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If it's photic, it's always twice for me. Very rarely is it not. I had a feeling it might be a more common thing. Link to comment
holomorph Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yeah, it's the same for me. I'm a pretty photic sneezer, and I can't think of a single time I've sneezed only once from light, and I'm pretty sure I can count the number of times I've gotten more than 3 on one hand. Link to comment
The Dude Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Photic. And always at least twice (although I had a fit of 6 the other day, but that was caused by eating something spicy while standing in the sunlight) Link to comment
atchoum Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Ressurecting an old topic. I don't know how I missed it at the time.My photic sneezes are invariably singles, whereas my non-photics can be anything from one to five.Unfortunately I'm finding that I sneeze less often from light than I used to. I wouldn't like to lose it completely! Link to comment
Malachite Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Well, as this got bumped... I'm photic too, but usually only sneeze once or twice... Can remember a single time when it had been more. Link to comment
Sneezologist123 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I wish I could have photic multiples like that. With me, it's always just one. The only exception is when I look at a light when I already feel a sneeze coming. In those cases, I sometimes get two. Link to comment
Anonymouse Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Looks like a majority of the photic people here only sneeze once or twice. :c Link to comment
ImTHATweird Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Well I'm not photic, but unfortunately I got trapped in a conversation with my friend about her dad sneezing, and she says he sneezes from the sun, and when he go's outside in the light, he sneezes 5-7 times. That was such an excruciating conversation lol. I think it very s from person to person Link to comment
FreeFluShots Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I read about a study of photic people and the average was 3, though several people in the study experienced a lot more. My friend W is photic and he always sneezes 3 times from the sun, but then he always sneezes in 3's anyway... Link to comment
