As echooos echooos said:

The photic sneeze reflex (also known as photoptarmosis, Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst Syndrome (ACHOO)[1] and colloquially sun sneezing) is a condition that causes variably difficult to control sneezing in response to numerous stimuli, such as looking at bright lights or periocular (surrounding the eyeball) injection. The condition affects 18-35% of the population, but its exact mechanism of action is not well understood.[

Never had it happen to me. Used to have lots of other allergies before going through immunotherapy about 20 years ago.

What happens is that the invisible solar sneeze monster of Traal flies up your nose.
