Hops make me sneeze

[vitrael]

Does anyone else have this "problem"?

I suppose it's not a problem at all, because sneezing can be entirely (and inexplicably) pleasing, but whenever I take a big long sniff or thoughtless draught of a hoppy beer, I feel a tickle in my nose. Shortly thereafter, I often sneeze!

I see a little bit about this effect posted on other forums but nothing here. I am just wondering how small of a minority I presently occupy.

At this moment, I am drinking a bomber of Laguntas Hop Stoopid and I have sneezed twice already.

I've heard of people with hop allergies.....

My buddy will always sneeze 3 times when drinking an IPA or other hoppy beer. He's a beer nut too, so it isn't going to stop him anytime soon, but it's damn funny at a bar.
