A 13 year-old boy living in the Oujda suburbs, northeastern Morocco sneezed 1,100 times in six days, an average of 200 times a day, shattering a quite unusual world record, Maghrib Agency Press reported Saturday.
The weekly "Gazettte Du Maroc" reported that local MDs failed to diagnose the disease and were unable to prescribe drugs, the agency said, noting that the sneezing only stopped when the boy went to sleep and heavy doses of sleeping medicine were necessary to make him drowse -- Albawaba.com
