When someone sneezes, you say "Bless you", then the one who sneezed thanks you. If they sneeze again, what would you do? Would you say "bless you" again, something else (the way we do in Russian), or wouldn't you say anything?
Also, I was surprised to learn that there is another way to bless a sneezer: to say "Gesundheit", which maybe should be capitalised since it's German. Is it common to say this?
Are there any other analogues of "Bless you" and "Gesundheit"?
