Nose Bleed

[Perfect Stu]

Who here gets nosebleeds?

I never had a nosebleed in my entire life...until last night. And it seemed to make up for my previous lack of nosebleeds.

I was playing poker with my buddies, and as I was dealing the cards, I felt something warm run down over my mouth. I touched it with my hand to see what it was, and it was a LOT of blood. It kept coming, too...like water from a faucet. I clogged it with pieces of Kleenex until they were saturated...I used about 5 pieces. It stopped, and I went to wash up. Both of my hands were soaked in blood, my shirt had bloodstains, and I had a handful of crimson Kleenex.

Now I dont get grossed out by blood...but this was kinda nasty.

Anyone have any idea what could have caused such an...outpour?

Probably the weather... Its been really humid lately, and I dunno... Hard to explain.

And I am the King of nosebleeds... Well, I use to be, lol. USed to get them alot... not much any more though.

I've had a few here and there but not as bad as you said it was.

I used to get tons of them during 6th and 7th grade, mostly at night. Pretty bad ones, too. I would just wake up in the middle of the night and find my pillow covered in blood. I eventually, I always made sure I had a spare pillow in my room.

I don't get them anymore, however. I always figured it was a "growing boy" thing or something...

A whole lot of blood. My worst ones had pillow nearly soaked through and blood all over my shirt. Most of them weren't that bad. Usually I would just stick some toilet paper up my nose and go back to sleep, but sometimes they were...eh...

Humidity wouldn't cause nosebleeds, dry air would.

My mistake.


And come to think about it, when I used to work at the Gap (last summer), I would always get nosebleeds after I would leave. Spending 8 hours in a place with dry air really damages me, lol.

I started getting nosebleeds last winter... It usually woke me up around 7-9AM...

But then during the summer they went away... Then winter rolled around and they came back, so we got a humidifier for my room and it seemed to work because I didn't have any the rest of the winter...

Humidifiers are my friends...

I've had a few nosebleeds... They've ranged from drippy to gushy. Usually happens when It's really dry out.

My littlest brother gets them pretty frequently during dry weather. He takes a Q-Tip with a little Vasoline on it and usually moisturizes his innards when it gets like that.
