There are two things I find very weird.. but intersting nonetheless.

I sneeze a few times when going outside for the first time in a few hours or looking into a bright light.

When I use q-tips to clean the insides of my ears, I cough.

Anyone else have these weird quirks? Or how about some more? :cool:

I have a condition called "trimethylaminuria". If I eat certain kinds of fish, I end up smelling like dead fish the next day.

Oddly enough, if I eat sushi, I don't smell like fish. I have no clue why it's the exception.

I cough several months after I have had a cold when I am in an air conditioned room.

I sneeze and cough at the same time which feels like something is bursting inside you.

I also stop sneezing if I grab my ear really quickly but I think thats just scaring the sneezes away.

When I clean my ears with a Q-Tip my nose tickles. Strange but true.

Whenever I drop something or think I'm going to drop something, my chin twitches.

Whenever someone's talking about me, my ears burn.

My belly-button seems to be a direct conduit (as in electrical) to my ...er... nether region.

I get a funny feeling in my throat when I clean my ears also.

And I fart a few hours after eating.

I start to sneeze repeatedly after a few minutes outside or if I'm in front of a fan or vent. Then my eyes water profusely. The symptoms stop after about 10 minutes.

My back also hurts if i'm in bed longer than 10 hours.

Sneezing in bright light is not uncommon. The phenomenon is called a "photic sneeze".

I sneeze a few times when going outside for the first time in a few hours or looking into a bright light.

When I use q-tips to clean the insides of my ears, I cough.I have both of those also. Always two sneezes, and the q-tip thing is more of an itch than a cough.

After drinking or eating something cold I cough a lot if I take a semi-deep breath.

If I scratch my right eyebrow in the right place, I can feel it itching deep within the back of my head.

I must have more, but I can't think of any right now.

When my husband rubs a certain part of my foot, I feel it as pressure on my knee.

Whenever a dog uses the bathroom on the spot where my amputated leg is burried, my other leg smells like shit.
