Possibly because everytime we sneeze our hearts stop beating for a second. It would be the nicest thing we could hear before we die. By the way, never hold in a sneeze, you could pop your artery!

Back in the day when the Black Plague was going around...Sneezing was a symptom of that you were infected by it and that you had a good chance of dying.

I have always said Gazoontheit, which is actually the Garman word for health. It is more or less wishing good health on the person.

because our heartbeat stops for a second or two when we sneeze, and it's a sort of praise to God for letting the heart beat continually.
