Allergic?: You may be allergic to chocolate. This is not uncommon. Ask your allergist for an evaluation.

It's a nerve reflex: Not necessarily an allergy. The trigeminal nerve has 3 branches - opthalmic, for the eyes. The maxillary branch, which helps regulate sneezes, ; the mandibular branch, which regulates the mouth. Some people have links between the branches. A common crossover is where bright light can trigger a sneeze. Less common is the chocolate one. I sympathize because it happens to me too!
