In English-speaking countries, it is common for at least one person to say "God bless you" (or just "Bless you") after someone sneezes. This tradition originates from the Middle Ages, when it was believed that when one sneezed, the heart stops, the soul left the body and could be snatched by an evil spirit.[citation needed] Today, it is said mostly in the spirit of good manners and is usually followed by the sneezer saying 'Thank you'. Also, when the Scarlet Fever Broke Out for the first time, people would often die as a result, people then began saying god bless you, in the hope that they would survive

I think superstition is used to give meanings to things that you can't explain. Or abnormalities. Also, they provide something interesting to look into.
