    I wish people wouldn’t. I don’t. I think a polite “excuse me” is fine after sneezing, I don’t want to be blessed.

      I’m sorry but if you sneeze around me you’re gonna get a Gesundheit and a grin.

    Some of my favorites

    Amharic - ይማርህ - May God forgive you

    Makes it sound like sneezing is seen as a punishment

    Kyrgyz - Ак чүч! - This may be based on an onomatopœia of the sound of a sneeze, like the English “Atchoo.”

    This is basically what my autistic son does, so it made me laugh

    No explanation needed for these last two

    Serbian - Pis Maco - Go away kitten

    Silesian - Pyrsk! - Cheers
