What do you do when someone sneezes a second time after you have already said 'bless you'/'gesundheit'? (Answers: 33) (Comments: 0)

I did not know whether to say 'bless you' once more or to keep quiet since the previous 'bless you' was sufficient. Please clarify what I should have done. Has anyone ever ignored you when you said 'bless you'/'gesundheit' after they sneezed?
