apparently when we sneeze our soul or spirit leaves our body for a split second.. so people bless us so we cannot be possessed while our spirit (soul) is absent from our body..

When you sneeze, your heart stops and also there is a risk of eyeballs coming out, so people say "bless you" to hope that you are okay.

my mom told me that when we sneeze our heart skips or stops on the beat and we say god bless you so that it will keep on ticking.... I know very unscientific explaination but that is what I've always heard.

bc when you sneeze you stop breathing and religious ppl long ago would say bless you bc they didn't want them to die and now its just traditional!

I heard the same thing as kitkool before... However, it's very traditional to say it and very appropriate.
