Nothing. And I love it when people get offended and ask why I didn't say "Bless you." Maybe because you're the one that should apologize for causing the disturbance, not me.

I say bless you but it's more of a cultural habit than anything else

My wife has sneezing fits that usually run into double-digits. I usually sit there until she stops and then say "you're scaring the dogs."

How about.
"you seem to be suffering some sort of allergic reaction or rhinovirus. I hope that your immune system is sufficiently well evolved and working well enough to be able to fight any infection you may have. Now get that shit out of my face, leper""
Or is" hope" a bit woolly
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."

Nothing.
Why should an expulsion of air from your nose and mouth caused by a nasal irritation warrant acknowledgement by others when no such similar acknowledgement is given for coughing, and farting is generally so embarrassing its ignored by everyone unless it's particularly foul-smelling and lingers? (In which case farting generally induces immature giggles and lewd remarks.)

I say Gesundheit! But then, I'm german, so I'm expected to say that and thus avoid this bit of every day atheistic awkwardness...

"I hope you're going to clean that up?"
