Lauren Johnson is a typical 12-year-old girl - except that she can't stop sneezing.

It is so bad that she sneezes up to 20 times a minute, or 12,000 times a day.

The non-stop sneezing began two weeks ago when Lauren from Virginia in the U.S. caught a cold.

Lauren can't go to school and is even struggling to eat.

The only relief she gets is when she falls asleep each night. Her condition has left doctors baffled.

During a five-minute interview on the Today Show in the U.S. Lauren sneezed hundreds of times, her speech interrupted every few seconds.

The 12-year-old - dubbed the 'Gesundheit Girl' said: 'I can't stop.

It wouldn't be too bad if she didn't sound like a dying cat every time she sneezed.

Why does it look so fake?

Dunno. But the chances that any 12 year old would willingly seperate themselves from their friends from school and put themselves into discomfort for 2 weeks sounds far too improbable.

I've bet it's a muscle contraction or something that keeps her triggering the sneeze. It's like a loose nerve cell.

A sneeze is 'a symptom consisting of the involuntary expulsion of air from the nose' so if the air is from her nose, then it's sneezing.
