Human body is very flawed. Damage to this nerve can result in systemic failure. When are we going to get an update? Evolution, pls fix!1


My favorite bugs are the ones that are too low priority to fix, like this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_sneeze_reflex

The exact pathophysiology is still unknown but it’s a variation on “the nose nerves and the optic nerve are too close together”


The joy of explaining your sneezes every time you see a bright light during cold/flu/pandemic season.

I'm surprised to see it affects 20+% of the population because I've never met anyone who knew what I was talking about when I said "sorry, light makes me sneeze"


For me, since childhood, it was a common fact that if one were almost going to sneeze but couldn't, they should quickly look at a bright source of light to succeed.

Lights don't trigger a full sneeze if I don't need to but it always helped.


Me too!


Ha! I have it too. Doesn't feel like 20% but we're out here


Bless you, too!

I love staring 45° from sunshine and knowing that I'll get that sneezing sensation.

¡Then do, a-chew!


Also motion sickness. Food poisoning makes your brain experience phantom movements, hence its a trigger to purge the stomach. When your car/boat causes unexplained movement, ie your limbs didnt do and your eyes cannot track, time to soil your lap.


In a past professional career, I hacked open a few dozen deceased people. Literally every body has unique configurations within — i.e. constantly evolving different genomic expressions to see what does and doesn't work.

My personal feeling on over-medication of our society is that it encourages more offspring from less-successful brains. (however one might determine that).

But that's just my ¢¢


Maybe we can replace it with a CAN bus. Or PCI express.
