Legend tells that when you sneeze, the soul leaves the body with your breath. At that point, it is available for possession by an evil spirit. Saying "Bless you" prevents the evil spirit from entering the body when you catch your breath.
Apparently, when you sneeze, your soul escapes. So if someone says bless you, the devil can't catch it.
