The nose is a part of the body that is loaded with blood vessels and in a very vulnerable position on our face. Nosebleeds can occur suddenly when the nasal membranes dry out and crack. This is common when living in dry climates, or during the winter months when the air is dry and warm from household heaters. People are more vulnerable to a bloody nose if they use blood thinning medication, as Aspirin. Also blowing your nose vigorously, when having a sinus infection can produce a nosebleed. So the question remains; how can I prevent a nosebleed and how can I stop it when it happens?
