I've never had a nose bleed.

I was watching a TV show where someone died of a nose bleed- I had to look it up to see if that was possible- it seems it is possible, but very rare.

Some nose bleed information which may come in handy some day:

If you get a nose bleed you should pinch your nostriles together and hold your head forward, while standing or sitting up.

If that doesn't work for you, you can use nasal sponges, nasal tampon or nasal balloon to apply pressure from the inside. (Nasal tampons-euuu!)

To reduce the chance of recurrent nose bleeds you can coat your sensitive nasal passages with vasiline or KY jelly. (KY jelly in you nose eeuuuu!)

You may also want to put more fiber in your diet- it causes blood to clot quicker.

In Japan old wives believe sexual arousement is sometimes a cause for a nose bleed.
If an anime character gets a nose bleed: it's a sex scene.

nose bleed

the anime version of an erection (well, in most anime thats appropriote for ages 16 and below), were a male character will bleed profusely from the nose when sexually excited. seeing that girls dont have erections and they cant show her panties getting wet, girls experience extremely red blush across their faces.

Attila the Hun died of a nose bleed just after his wedding. (How embarrassing and tragic at the same time.) He was drunk and choked to death on his own blood because he didn't pinch his nostrils and sit up. (Or is this just a Japanese wives' tale?)

So remember kids, if your nose starts hemorrhaging: Don't be like Attila the Hun after his wedding!
