The Spanish Wikipedia confirms what you said, and in Spanish you say "Salud" (health)

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estornudo

>In any other language but English (of those that I know), it's something related to health. We (and Russians and Hungarians and probably a few other Slavic languages) say "on (your) health". Germans say "Gesundheit" (health). I've heard it comes from the plague times, when a sneeze was the first sign of recovery (as there's no English word which would literally mean "uphealthening").
