Nope, I got you... the reason is becuz your heart skips a beat *literally*, due to the super sonic contraction of a sneeze. Thusly, people bless you to God, becuz you came close to gettin' there. *wink*  |

Some of the ancient people thought that when one sneezed that the soul actually left the body.This sounds ridiculous..I have often wondered how they explained it when a person sneezed 5 or 6 or more times in a row?..Did the soul automatically return with each sneeze,somewhere in between of each sneeze? I mean,within a split second? Also, What about the double sneezes?..I know what sneezes are..I have allergenic asthma and with each seasonal change I sometimes sneeze so many times in a row that I wonder if the sneezing will ever stop..I have had sneezes upon sneezes..I once read about a man who could not stop sneezing and the doctors couldn't stop his sneezes..He had sneezed an enormous amount of times..A few times it had went through my mind that I may not quit sneezing ever..That's a terrible thought..Anyway, the saying "God bless you" after each sneeze probably originated from the belief that one's soul left the body with each sneeze..Sincerely Rusure  |

I agree with Rusure. And I read once, that your heart stops beating with a sneeze. Free Girl  |

I didnt see the question, but I assume it is why do people say "bless you" after you sneeze. The answer: During the black plague, a sneeze was one of the symptoms.  |

Well, actually I read somewhere that long long time ago, in the time of pilgrims, they believed that if you caught a cold or any sickness it was because a demon was in you. So if you sneezed people would say God Bless.  -pai-  |
