From relatives to neighbors, family to strangers, what other response is so commonly known around the world than what happens following someone’s sneeze. God bless you gesundheit, blesh you, salud - whatever your response, this is something so commonly used that it spans across continents, religions, ethnicities, and cultures - how is that possible? And better yet, how is it that so many people across the world use this response yet if I had asked anyone who used that response, “hey, may I ask you, why do we say God bless you after someone sneezes” I honestly don’t know if someone would know the true origins of it. I thought I did, until I realized what I thought was surrounded in sheer myth. And that’s the origin of this episode, a simple question…collectively, why do we all have that shared experience and where did that come from? You’re about to find out because you’re listening to the Missing Chapter and we’re starting right now.
