I have that! Sneezed twice today because of bright sunlight. It can sometimes also be triggered voluntarily by looking at a bright light. You can't trigger it multiple times in a row though. I suspect this is because sinuses need to recover from the shock of the sneeze.

I can sneeze several times in a row if a light is bright enough. I've even triggered it just thinking of the sun, a few times.

Yep same here! It's nice when you feel a sneeze coming on and then it stops, you can kinda force it to happen!

Wait that's a genetic quirk? I do that shit all the time with "the sneeze that won't sneeze"

Sure is! It's my favourite superpower.
