Yes, I do know why, as the plague years are well recorded. I say bless you, but not god bless you, as i am handing out my own blessings, which are limited, so i warn people that i only dole out two at a time. Upon the third sneeze they are on their own.

When I belch I may say “Good beer.”

I was told once by a Doctor, that when we sneeze our heart stops, thats why people say God Bless You

"Cover your fucking mouth" is my usual response, or I ignore them. We don't bless coughing, belching, or farting. What makes the sneeze so special? I would really like to know.

Since many years now , I adopted that !
“ u are soooo good looking “

I have a tissue if you need it.

back in the day they thought that sneezing was the soul leaving the body. and it was assumed that the soul would only return to a "sinless vessel" so they would bless your body.

I say gesundheit.

I say nothing when someone sneezes, though I might give them a dirty look. I don't say anything, either, when someone coughs, hiccups, belches, or farts.
