Best Answer

basically, when you sneeze, you die for about 1/2 a second

and god chooses to bring you back to life

that's why people say god bless you

and because you die for 1/2 second while your sneezing, that's why you can't sneeze with your eyes open.

The Birmingham Health System states, "If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force (while you sneeze), they will pop out. Suppressing a sneeze can be harmful, particularly to your ears."

I learned that if you hold in a sneeze while pinching your nose, while it relieves the pain in your ears, "it briefly blocks the blood flow to your heart".

I wouldn't hold it in if I were you...

Actually, it's because people used to think that when you sneezed, a little devil came out of you, so they would say bless you to protect you.

I've held in sneezes many times before, and while it's not a good idea, if you really need to, it most likely won't hurt.

Why is a sneeze called a sneeze?

Because when you sneeze the sound you make is "SNEEZE!" ^No, it really isn't. I've not heard one person say "SNEEZE" when they sneeze, ever in my life. I've heard people say "Achoo", "Atishoo" and other ones, but never "SNEEZE".
