Why do people say ‘sorry’ and ‘God bless you’ after sneezing?

Sneezing is essential for a clean and healthy nose. Due to the constant air filtration in our nose, it is often dirty and full of germs. A sneeze helps clear all that from our nose. If sneezing is completely healthy then why are we taught to say sorry after sneezing and why are people asked to say God bless you when someone else sneezes?

Sneezing is our body’s way of expelling unhealthy components through our nose that may be trapped in it. It uses a fast flow of air to blow everything out at once, leading to a clean and healthy nose. However, it also means that when our body is cleaning our nose, all the harmful components of our nose can affect the people around us.

This means that our sneezing can have a negative effect on others. Some may even get sick. This is the reason why we should cover our nose with a clean handkerchief and say ‘Sorry’ or ‘Excuse me’ while sneezing.

Sneezing can also have a negative effect on our body because it can sometimes be fatal due to a sudden shock. To save us from any bad situation, people around us should say ‘God bless you’.
