Before we all begin to compare the number of times we sneeze upon stepping
outside into the sunlight, I guess you'd all  better know THIS is one thing we
CAN'T blame on PD!! <grin>

A coupla years ago (darn... I KNEW I should've saved the article for future
reference), I read in one of the respected monthly magazines that over 50
percent of the world's population (including myself) has a sensitivity to the
sun upon going from inside to outside.   Those individuals react by sneezing
within a few moments of stepping into the sunlight.

No biggee... and not at all PD related apparently.  Kids sneeze, anceint
grannies sneze, young teens sneeze, LOTS of us allllllllllll around the world
sneeze when we go from inside to outside, into the sunlight.

I too sneeze two or three times when going from darkness to bright sunlight.
 Parkinson's meds are known to cause sensitivity to light, I'm told.  (But my
wife swears I've always done this, before I was ever diagnosed).  Dick
