When falling
victim to the notoriously, embarrassing
nosebleed there is a simple and effective cure.
First, take your
thumb and
forefinger and
pinch firmly at the bridge of the nose
ABOVE THE NOSTRILS
Next, sit down and lean your head slightly
down.
DO NOT lean your head back, like is commonly suggested. This will only cause the
blood to drip down your
throat, and too much blood in the stomach will cause
nausea and possible
vomiting.
Continue pinching with your head slightly down in the seated position for a few minutes. This will stop the nosebleed in the quickest and safest manner.
