When I was growing up, when one of us sneezed my dad would say "Gesundheit!" instead of "Bless you." He (and I) grew up on the west coast of Canada. I am curious how common this usage is/was in non-German speaking countries. If you didn't grow up in Germany, do you remember people saying Gesundheit after someone sneezed? Where did you grow up, and do you have German connections in your family? (My dad's grandmother was German and I'm sure this is where he first heard it and why his mother, my grandmother, said it.)
