There was a period of time when my ex-husband was having frequent nosebleeds. During one humdinger which didn’t respond to pressure or ice or any of the usual first aid tricks, I took some powdered yarrow flower (a coagulant) and wrapped it in a handkerchief and told him to stick it up his nose. That did the trick. 10 minutes later when I figured it had probably clotted, I told him to gently pull the handkerchief out. He did. A 5 inch clot of blood looking much like a well fed slug slithered out and hit the floor.
As reported, yep happens to nose bleeders. I got hit in the face with a baseball bat in the fourth grade, and had nose problems for 40 years, until I finally went in for a fix.
Gross but somehow weirdly satisfying when you can pluck one out.
This thread, like all the disgusting SDMB “things that come out of my body” threads, is thoroughly disgusting but yet I can’t look away. Sort of like a train wreck.
Sadly, I have nothing to contribute, but I will be reading.
I, on the other hand, have completely satisfied any self-destructive urges of curiosity simply by reading the posts in the thread. I didn’t even click on the links. I’m good, and I’m done.
I know – when I log on of course I search for threads I posted to, and just seeing the title oogs me out. Yet here I am posting and now it will stay on this list a day longer. :smack:
