[@summerdais325]

Photic sneezes happen when a person looks at the sun, basically speaking. I SO want to do this.

[@janetdevlin]

ohhhh well that does happen to me 🤔🤔 You should, it's awesome!

[@Lothaenorixius]

More specifically, scientists think it developed as a result of living in shelters like caves and then primitive dwellings like the artificial cave "houses" found in Ireland. A person was less likely to spread diseases if they sneezed after exiting the shelter and being exposed to sunlight than if they just sneezed inside. Which happens to me as well. (I think I got that close. LOL)

[@storm3016]

It happens with any kind of bright light to me, artificial as well as natural. It comes in pretty handy at times. I'm sure we've all had those sneezes that just don't want to come out and leave you frustrated, but whenever that happens to me I just look at a bright light and off she goes :)

[@annalynne1084]

I’ve always had that reaction to the sun 😆

[@recoveringsoul755]

Summer Dais I used to work with someone who would sneeze two times when he first got into the sun. Blonde hair, can't remember if blue eyes or not. Nice guy. named my son middle name the same. Super smart. (Both of them). Then I noticed my son sneeze in the sun. No, they are not related. Pretty crazy though.

[@garbuckle3000]

Big thanks to you Janet, my ten yr old has severe melt downs at mealtimes. Knives, forks even plates of food have been launched at the offending person. We have used his tablet/iPad and headphones to keep the sound of eating to a minimum. So from the bottom of my heart a huge thanks, now we have something to throw at the Dr's. Catastrophe, you are losing your gorgeous Irish accent, more time in the homelands is needed!

[@odonovan]

The broadly northwestern European is the Norse influence. Remember, the Norse founded Dublin and only SOME of them were kicked out after the Battle of Clontarf. A LOT stayed and became Irish. My family was one of those who interbred the MOST with the Norse. We were also on the right side of the line at Clontarf, near to High King Brian Boru. The "photic sneeze reflex" is also known as the "solar photonic reflex." If you have it, it means when you first go out in direct sunlight, you will sneeze exactly twice. I had a nurse swear up and down there was no such thing, but I had it when I was younger. I don't do it any longer, however.

[@jankozak2984]

This is insane... It has been 3 hours since I (I don’t even know how) came across this cute, shy blonde girl singing on the X Factor and here I am now. I’ve watched your every performance and then discovered this channel. I have to say that something like this has never happened to me, but it’s like I can’t stop. I feel like I just want to keep getting to know you. You really are a special person; you make amazing videos, your voice is exquisite, and you are very funny, kind, and sincere... and I just love the fact you do these videos on KZbin. It makes me feel like I can get to know you better and even though we have never met I already feel like you are my best friend. And if by any chance you come across this comment, I just want to tell you that I’m very grateful that I found someone who is this amazing, on this platform.... oh and I’m officially becoming your #1 fan btw.

Photic sneeze reflex means if you look into the sun (or sometimes even very bright light) you automatically have to sneeze. You're lucky you don't have that! It's so annoying during summer BUT if you feel a sneeze in your nose but just can't get it out, just look into the sun and you'll get it out haha so that's a pro :D

You always make lovely videos. Keep up the great work!!! What I was told is that I am Irish, German, and Cherokee. I know my Cherokee ancestry for a fact because many who were on the Trail of Tears escaped near where I live and were later traced by my brother. Also, my grandfather was half Cherokee. Not so sure about my other origins, although I was told my great grandparents on my father's side came from Ireland. Having traced the origin of their last name, Newkirk, I believe that name originally comes from Scandinavia. So who knows? I'll probably test one day myself. That would be interesting.

I was actually just looking at my ancestry the other day, but I was tracking back a genealogy rather than using a DNA test.
