I think that is unrelated to the sun-sneeze reflex though, some people that don't have that reflex can sneeze multiple times in a row, and vice-versa too.

I think I just learned that I have this! I usually sneeze when walking out of the house into the morning sun. And regardless of what makes me sneeze, it's rarely just one or two at a time.

I have this as well, and all my kids seem to as well.

Never knew that it was part of fighter pilot screening, that is interesting.

I'm the only one with the reflex in my family including parents and children.

They all think I am insane blaming the sun for my sneezes.

Do you like to eat? Or do it out of a sense of duty?

Yeah-- no kidding. When I was anosmic with COVID I couldn't eat much of anything. Food was just terrible. I still remember the soulless paste that was peanut butter. (Ugh. It was so bad...)
