I read an article recently describing what I have always done, sneeze as a result of bright light. It doesn't happen every time, and I can't sneeze again after I have already sneezed.
When I was younger I use to enjoy sneezing, and would look up at the sun for a brief moment just so I could get that tingly feeling. I know, I was strange : )

Sometimes when I go outside I sneeze, even if I didn't think I needed too. However, I always look at sun or bright light to help me sneeze when I need to but can't. Never knew why this worked- thanks for links!!!

Nature makes me sneeze. I just look directly at the sun to help the sneeze come out.

I've always found this to be true. Sometimes if I feel a sneeze coming on that gets stuck I look up to the light or the sun and I have always done this and my family take the pee out of me over it!

You're not strange, i used to do that to. It does feel really good to sneeze after looking at the sun. Tis a mystery to me though so let's hope you get some answers!

I don't but many do. The sun's radiation, entering via the eyes, can overstimulate some people's immune response, sometimes resulting in a sneeze, sometimes in other things.

It's not strange...a lot of us have done that to get that feeling! Yes, it happens to me in the sun and bright lights. Sometimes, just to put my head back and look up.

Wow. Yes, i sneeze when i catch a glimpse of the sun. (not a good thing when driving. lol)
People have accused me of being weird or having hayfever (but i know it's not hayfever) my mam also has never believed me.
I just gave up trying to make people believe me & just accepted that i was stupid.
I have printed out a copy from wikipedia to show my mam & at least proove to her that i am telling the truth.
Thank you.
