Is it true that you sneeze when someone's missing you?

[Michael Chopra]

I remember when I was a kid whenever I suddenly started to sneeze, my mom used to say that someone's missing you and when I hiccuped my mom used to say take the name of someone you love the most and I used to take name of my crush in heart and then my mom asked me if I took her name and I would lie to say yes

What about when you pass wind.

It means nobody misses you and you should stay away from people.

No it's not true. What is true regarding sneezing is the contrast with how Islam and Christianity deal wit it.

In Islam you thank God after a sneeze, I guess for clearing up headspace/airways/irritation.

In Christianity you ask to me blessed to keep the devil away so to speak because a sneeze was the first sign of plague/black death. A sneeze was not reason to be thankful to God.

Hence the ring a ring a roses, Atishoo, Atishoo, we all fall down, is about the plague.

Yes everyone knows we all are connected through our sinuses. When you see little kids picking their noses, they are just trying to communicate and those who eat their boogers are just being affectionate and trying to kiss you
