The common explanation for his is that sneezing was a symptom of the Plague and so if someone sneezed, people would say 'bless you' because they might have a horrible disease. But in fact it dates from much earlier superstitions, for example, ancient man believed that his breath was also his soul or essence of life..
A sneeze also can be provoked by being outside in the sunlight or from smelling a strong odor. Still, we persist in the custom of saying bless you or gesundheit, mainly out of habit and common courtesy. For more information on sneezing and related topics, check out the next page.
