Are you obligated to a second "Bless you" if somebody sneezes twice?

Do you think that someone should say bless you the amount of times somebody sneezes, or just once?

    After second sneeze you say bless you after third sneeze put a bag over thier head so they stop spreading their disease. This is legal as long as you cut eyeholes in the bag so they can see where they are going. Point them in direction of a doctor's office and then run away from them.

    I usually say 'bless you' the first time they sneeze, and if they sneeze a second time I wait to see if they sneeze anymore. If they do, then I say 'bless you' on the third time, then just wait patiently for them to stop sneezing.

    i grow to be counseled while i grow to be little which you assert "God Bless You" while somebody sneezes. alongside time in the past, or maybe some cultures as we communicate, concept that when you sneezed your soul grow to be leaving your physique. So while they suggested "God Bless You" it saved your soul with you. i assume that's been shortened to Bless you, and non non secular people say bleshyou (or it would desire to be slang).

    Just once an hour for as long as the sneezing continues is adequate.

    I think you shouldn't say it unless you know them personally. Not everyone shares your religious beliefs, and thus are uncomfortable with "thanking" you for "blessing" them.

    well for one thing you're not supposed to even say "bless you." what you say is "may the force be with you." it's less condescending. second, you may repeat it three times before you're justified in telling the sneezer "enough!"

    duh.

    The correct response is to put on a face mask and run from the room screaming "SARS!!!!"
