Back in the day when someone was dying of the plague, one of the last symptoms was sneezing. The priests couldn't get to all the people that needed last rites, so they told the populous that they had the right to bless the person when they started sneezing...
 
i say ….. Gesundheit!
Ja, me too. But not just for sneezes. Coughs, burps, farts, curses,.. Anything sort of sudden, audible, and maybe a little embarrassing. Good health to you!
 
Nothing.

It's just a natural bodily function

When I sneeze I say "Excuse me"
 
In America you’ll occasionally hear gesundheit, but “bless you” is by far more common
