Does anyone else sneeze from cold air/mint? (lemmy.world)

I always get people telling me to look up at the light to sneeze, which I know is a phenomenon but I never hear anyone talk about mint.

Something about fresh air just tickles my nose and makes me sneeze. It's especially great when I have a mouthful of minty toothpaste.

Or perhaps I'm just allergic to going outside.

I already knew about the "photic sneeze reflex", and I know someone who sneezes exactly 2 times when temperature changes (and very loudly), but not from mint afaik.
