Sneezing is most often induced by contact with infectious agents or inhalation of irritant dusts and chemical fumes. An unusual phenomenon known as the photic sneeze reflex, sun sneeze or ACHOO(autosomal cholinergic helio-ophtalmologic outburst) syndrome has been described in the literature but has rarely undergone scientific investigation. This reflex is characterized by the induction of a sneeze upon sudden exposure of a dark-adapted subject to intensive bright light. 3, record 1, English, - photic%20sneeze%20reflex
