Title: pupil dilation and... sneezing?
Post by: science_guy on 09/03/2007 16:21:09

does pupil dilation have anything to do with sneezing?

I've noticed that when im in a dark place and I walk into a bright place, or vice versa, then my eyes become kind of strained, and then i sneeze, but only once.

who can explain?
