People think that you're sick when you sneeze because most people who have colds sneeze A LOT!!!! Not to mention that I've had one before!

Back a few hundred years, about the time on the Great Plague in England, when a person sneezed people would often say "God bless you". In the hope that the person would not have any desasterous illness. It is said even today by some of the older folk who still remember Chicken Pox, measles, diphthira and infantile paralasis.

Your nose senses something that doesn't belong and wants to rid the body of it.
