Some people sneeze when they see bright light, like the sun or a flash from a camera. It's called the photic sneeze reflex. Imagine your nose is connected to your eyes by a secret tunnel, and when that tunnel gets a signal from light, it tells your nose to sneeze!
Examples
- A child sneezes when the classroom lights come on.
- Someone sneezes while looking at a flash from a camera.
- An adult sneezes after stepping outside into the sunlight.
