“Indeed.”
Gesundheit
A votre sante
Are you all right?
Please sneeze into your sleeve
Say it, don’t spray it
Is your nasal discharge always that shade of green?
Sneezing may cause nosebleeds.
Spock on the subject of nosebleeds, which may be caused by sneezing among other causes:
He would raise an eyebrow because you were hiding from the aliens that think they are Nazis and now your cover is blown.
Cover your mouth, unless you wish to be a vector.
“Your agonizer, please.”

IMHO, we have the thread winner.
“I see you are fluent in Tragnorian. Hork-hork to you.”
Thanks to everyone who has contributed. I had been away from all online for a while.
Since Spock is many lightyears away from me, he doesn’t even notice me sneezing.
Baba ba-ba-ba-ba
Dah-dah-dada!
According to an online translator, the Vulcan equivalent would be rom muhl’es.
I find the social obligation to utter a meaningless expression after someone sneezes highly illogical.
“You have just sneezed.”
My ambulance partner was a 7th-Day Adventist. Chickweed bloomed. She sneezed. “Gesundheit,” I said. “I don’t need an exorcism,” she said. “Demons didn’t make me sneeze.” I expect Mr Spock would display a similar attitude.
Even though “Gesundheit” isn’t an exorcism, but a general wish for health, and whatever did cause the sneeze is apparently an impediment to health.
He raises his eyebrow and says “Fascinating”
Tell her, not me. Her faith held “Gesundheit” to be a call for gawd’s blessing, i.e. an exorcism of demons causing the sneeze. I thought I was merely being polite. Silly me.
I think if you only sneeze once, he won’t bother to say anything at all. Subsequent sneezes, on the other hand, will probably prompt him to investigate the situation a little further.
