You should take the time to say thankyou because that person took the time to say bless you...It's nice manners...

You do not need to say anything! The phrase " Bless You" comes from times where the "Big Flue" killed a lot of people, and when somebody sneezed they blessed the person in the hope that they don't die of flue! It is a silly thing to say anyway in modern times but can be regarded as good manners and to respond with Thank You

sneeze again so you can keep getting blessed. A thank-you is a proper response.

Bless you origionated to combat the plague.
When someone sneezed (seen as the initial onset of the plague), they were immediately blessed ("God bless you!") in the hope that they would not actually develop the disease.

nicely, no longer possibly. that's just some human beings do no longer think of that's genuinely mandatory to assert thank you. (Sneezes) you assert, "Bless you." thank you(: Is that greater valuable?(: don't get disillusioned for little issues, no longer attempting to be rude, I promise.
