Exactly this is the reaction and wordings when we sneeze...
Whenever we hear a loud sneeze, the next words out of our mouths will be a blessing of some description. But why do we say "Bless you" immediately following someone else's sneeze? Essentially, it's because of centuries of religion and tradition. By not saying "Bless you" or something similar, you may be setting yourself up for an even bigger problem down the road.
our hearts and minds have nothing on our nostrils. When God decided to create Man from the dust of the Earth, He blew the spirit of life into Man's nostrils.
The very act of sneezing may also prompt a "Bless you" response from onlookers, especially if it is a powerful blast.
In English there’s a saying about the number of times you sneeze and what it means too. It goes…
Once, a wish,
Twice a kiss,
Three times a letter,
Four times something better.
Theres an English proverb about the day you sneeze on, and what that mean
If you sneeze on Monday, you sneeze for danger;
Sneeze on Tuesday, you kiss a stranger;
Sneeze on Wednesday, you sneeze for a letter;
Sneeze on a Thursday, for something better;
Sneeze on a Friday, you sneeze for sorrow;
Sneeze on a Saturday, your sweetheart tomorrow;
Sneeze on a Sunday, your safety seek,
The devil will have you the whole of the week.
