And I have "evidence" that it's gentic.
Given that the plural of experience is not proof... I get it down my father's side of the family. My bro and Dads have it too - but of course I have it more. Of course! But I have read proper evidence.

You know how yawning is contagious?
Sneezing is, in my life.
I put my face in the right frame for sneezing and it comes on.

Walk down a bright street with me and everybody stares. Well, children and old people anyway. I sneeze in batches of 5 and can easily manage 10 by the end of the street. This can go up to 20 if I'm in and out of the sun.

Funny that you mentioned St Marks, UG - Venice is the worst place in the world for a photic-sneezer! All dark alleyways and sudden bright squares. I went there on my honeymoon and my ex delighted in counting down the seconds until my next sneeze. In a lovely way (this was not why we divorced).
