Nosebleed? Stick Some Bacon Up In There!

I’ve stuck my fair share of things up my nose and I’ve gotten my fair share of nosebleeds. I’m sure we all have. But can putting raw bacon in your nose stop a nosebleed? According to Annals: Yes.

A case study shows that the placement of cured pork firmly inserted into the nasal passages will stop hemorrhaging. The subject, a 4 year-old suffering from Glanzmann thrombasthenia (a hemorrhaging disorder mostly from the nose), was successfully treated with the method.

I guess next time I have a nosebleed I now have an excuse for picking up some bacon.

Note: Bacon should not be cooked in order to prevent nosebleed. Cooked bacon should only be inserted into one’s nose for aromatic purposes or if on a dare. We are not doctors, nor scientists.
