(+26...5) asks why do people say bless you when u sneeze🤧?

We don't really know, but the custom of saying "Bless you" or "God bless" goes back a long way. Some believe that the custom originates from the belief that evil spirits could enter when sneezing, and blessing warded off the spirits. Another common claim is that sneezing was one of the symptoms of the bubonic plague, and thus early Christians blessed the person who sneezed to wish away death.
