But I think it fits so well that I just have to share it. I do not have the ACHOO syndrome myself, but I know people who do. Good thing it's not fatal1 Kayleetonkslupin (Kayleetonkslupin) New member Username: Kayleetonkslupin Post Number: 4496 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Saturday, October 08, 2011 - 6:33 pm:        I is confuseded, soli kitteh =( I = soli kitteh?

YES Are the people you know who have it relevant? no ***************SPOILER********************* ACHOO stands for Autosomnal Compelling Helio-Opthalmic Outburst, a.k.a. photic sneeze reflex, which occurs in from 10-35% of the population. It is believed there may be a genetic component. The article also mentioned other causes of sneezing, such as over-eating, eating chocolate, and thinking about or having sex. I would say this is a field ripe for neologistic creation! I knew this would be a quickie. Thanks to the small but elite group who took part!
