The Prairie Pooch Hole
Yours truly, Pooch Doggy Dog has a medical degree from South Harmon Institute of Technology, a prestigious Eastern seaboard medical school. And, we weren't taught about this malady. I smell a big fat Commie rat!
What is your vote. Serious or a belated April Fools joke?
A paper in this month's issue of the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine highlights an under-reported but possibly not uncommon phenomenon - sneezing in response to sexual excitement.
When Dr Mahmood Bhutta, a specialist registrar in ENT at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, came across a patient who sneezed every time he had a sexual thought, his initial reaction was one of disbelief, but it interested him enough to undertake an internet search.
"I was surprised by how many people also reported the same reflex in internet chat-rooms. It certainly seems odd, but I think this reflex demonstrates evolutionary relics in the wiring of a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system. This is the part beyond our control, and which controls things like our heart rate and the amount of light let in by our pupils. Sometimes the signals in this system get crossed, and I think this may be why some people sneeze when they think about sex."
