Individual differences with respect to the sneezing reflex: an inherited physiological trait in man?

Abstract

Individual differences with respect to the sneezing reflex are described. Visual exposure to strong light may induce a sneezing reaction in about 20% of the individuals in the Swedish population. Preliminary data indicate that the ' sneezer trait' may be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. The eventual selective advantage of ST is discussed.
