In pollen season they can come and go, never had that many in a row though.

Yes!
Sometimes well in excess of 10.
Pollen season is worse but it's random. I beginning to suspect it's food related........🤔

I can get a bit sneezy at times. I also have photo-sensitive sneezing: looking into the light makes me sneeze, so I often use that to provoke a sneeze that's teetering on the brink, but won't quite go on its own. Since breaking my nose in a car crash 37 years ago, I can also trigger a sneeze by touching my nose where the damaged nerves are. In 37 years it's become a lot less sensitive than it was though, so it's quite difficult to do now. I also get this at times, but I didn't realise it was recognised until I just Googled it.
I had this in my late teens/early twenties (a long time ago now) and it turned out I was sensitive to some food additives - colourings and preservatives. It's eased over time but I still avoid those particular additives if I can. I was lucky to find an NHS allergy clinic who did some tests.

I have occasional sneezing fits but cannot find any reason as I have no allergies and do not suffer from hay fever. Also season has no influence either. Summer or winter or anything in between makes no difference.

I have allergic rhinitis so anything airborne can trigger sneezes, such as pollen, dust, or any aerosol. The only odd thing that makes me sneeze is wine or Southern Comfort, once I’ve had enough to be drunk. In fact I use that as my cut-off warning.
Strangely I don't get it with any other alcoholic beverages

The sneezing fit challenge is to make a different sound at the end of each sneeze.
It's not much of a challenge when there's only three or four sneezes, but any more and it gets quite hard.

Mrs SJ does.
It drives me bonkers, but it isn't something you can really complain about.

I get one most evenings - especially in the hay fever season
Hay fever is a bit strange - and not exactly what most people seem to think
e.g. it also occurs outside the pollen season - because mould spores can also trigger it
I also find that I can ride around under trees and past field of rape seed or other trigger plants - with no problem
basically blasting pollen into my nose, face and eyes at 10-20 mph - or more going downhill
all with no real problem
Then I get home, go indoors and 10-30 minutes later my eyes are stinging like mad
and a few hours later I get a sneezing fit that can probably be heard in Japan (according to my wife!)
Her theory is that riding around in high pollen season total over whelms by systems and they shut down
Then- when I get home - things settle down and my systems start reacting normally
Later on in the day my systems react again - for reasons unknown
so - what was the point??
Oh yes
at this time of year - probably hay fever - it can crop up at any age
try taking some non-drowsy hay fever tablets - I use certirizine but different bodies work differently - so try different ones
or just put up with it

I was listening to Pink Floyd earlier, In the garden.
I kept sneezing and my eyes started to itch.
I thought, Hay Fever, Leave my Lids alone.
