Lets take a DEEP LOOK at the unseen etymology of the very act of sneezing, which is the SPRINKLING OR SPRAYING OUT LITTLE DROPLETS, just like the “blessing,” which is an ancient sacred act that LITERALLY comes from proto Germanic "blothisojan" meaning to "hallow with blood," or in other words, to consecrate with the sacred fluid...
"....without any of us even knowing its origins…. just something to consider... how even the most HOLY of terms can be HOLEY (full of holes) until we understand them WHOLLY (completely).
BLESS (V.) Old English bletsian, bledsian, Northumbrian bloedsian "to consecrate, make holy, give thanks,” BUT COMES FROM PROTO-GERMANIC *BLODISON "HALLOW WITH BLOOD, MARK WITH BLOOD," FROM *BLOTHAM "BLOOD" (SEE BLOOD).
Many Semitic Proto Sinaitic and Indo-European traditions, possibly Zionism, may be very well aware of the tradition of the “blessing,” which is the sprinkling of the sacred blood on the sacred alter.
