What's the best thing to say after someone farts audibly?

When someone sneezes, we say "bless you," "gesundheit," etc., but farts are always awkward. I guess that normalizing farting in public isn't great for anyone, but sometimes it happens. Is it best to pretend that it didn't happen, or is diffusing the situation with a "bless you" (or equivalent) the better way to go?
