Line 31:
* The entire plot of ''[[The Exploits of Ebenezum]]'' (and further sequels [[The Wanderings of Wuntvor]]) by Craig Shaw Gardner revolves around this. Ebenezum, a talented hedge wizard, accidentally summons a demon and is somehow cursed by the Netherhells while sending him back. This causes him to develop an "allergy" to magic, interrupting every one of his spells with a thunderous sneeze. At first this is thought to be the work of said demon, but later even he proves unable to reverse it. So his bumbling apprentice Wuntvor has to help him get from one place to another looking for a cure. In case it wasn't obvious, this is a quite funny modern fantasy parody.
* In ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]'', Rachel suffered this after scanning an animal she was apparently "allergic" to. This caused her to randomly assume her various animal forms and only ended with her expelling the new shape by [[Squick|vomiting up an entire alligator]].
* In ''[[Young Wizards|So You Want To Be A Wizard?]]'', Nita and Kit unintentionally transport [[Some Call Me... Tim|Fred]] the sentient white hole to them. White holes emit stuff - usualy energy. Most of his mass and energy is stored in a [[Hammerspace|temporal-spatial pocket]] so that he can travel at all, and the act of traveling has made him a bit woozy - it gives him a bad case of the hiccups. When he hiccups, he emits stuff. And by stuff...good luck trying to explain the Learjet that just appeared in the middle of the field.
* In [[The Wheel of Time]] Elayne Trakand becomes pregnant, and the Aiel Wise Ones inform her that she will occasionally be unable to channel.

** The plan ultimately turns on the Predacons when Rhinox gets sick of being an [[Annoying Patient]] and decides to inflict himself on them.
* It's either an inversion of this trope or [[Cursed With Awesome]], but every time Glitter the sidekick fairy sneezed in [[Kidd Video]], she temporarily gained super strength. This troper doesn't recall if there was any explanation ''why'' sneezing did this for her.
** This is [[Kidd Video]] , a perfect example of [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]. If they explained ANYTHING I'd have been amazed.
* In one episode of [[Care Bears|Adventures in Care-a-Lot]], Funshine got a case of Bubbles, which made him cough up bubbles every time he hiccuped and start floating away.
