I read in a book that people used to think a sneeze was your soul trying to leave your body and saying "bless you" would either keep it from leaving or help it to reach heaven. Though it was a book for children so i can't say if it's a reliable source.

Lord help me, my son does this. Has done this to any skin - throat, hands, back of arms, anywhere he can get traction, since he was an infant. He’s better about it now, but he has ALWAYS done this. (Usually as he’s drifting off to sleep). Thank heaven non of us have skin this fragile or stretchy.

Lol, that once happened to me in an elevator…

Guy: crazy sound

Me: Bless you?

Guy: Usually that’s reserved for sneezes…

Me: I had no idea what that was!
