Gross Sighting. What's worse...it was me.

When I was a freshman in high school my english class went to see Me and My Girl on Broadway. One of my friends got a bloody nose in the theater during the show. That was not fun.

Nosebleeds are caused by allergies?

Maybe I should try Allergen to declog my ever-clogged sinuses (Going on 6 months in the right cavity)

It's possible. I have them once in a while, with a headache in the back of my head to go along with it when my allergies get really bad. Cold weather doesn't help it either it seems.

I keep a small hand towel with me around the house for when I get stopped up and can't breathe well. Sounds gross, maybe, but I'd rather have a "snot towel" within arm's reach than not be able to breathe.

Do you think she does that for everything?
*blow nose* Ectoplasm! Youre possessed!

I used to date a guy who seemed to ALWAYS have a nose bleed.
One day we were out somewhere and he gave me a hug. I felt my entire back get wet all of a sudden. Yes, mid-hug his nose started bleeding profusely for zero reason that we could tell.

I had to go home and get a different shirt as mine looked like I'd turned my back on a massacre.

Fortunately for him I have a high constitution.

Weird trivia: did you know that buboes can "talk"? I can't find the book I read it in but apparently they can make some kind of gurgling noise.

What the eff is a buboe?

Ya know, that sounded a bit on the rude side.

Don't look if you're squeemish though.

Didn't mean to sound rude. I've come to notice that there are several cultures represented on the boards and a lot of the slang used is unfamiliar to me, so I thought maybe the word you used was a local word for the actual name. My bad.

I would probably be wondering that, too, but the question was answered in the same post that you quoted. :

Bubonic Plague: Symptoms appear suddenly, usually after 2-5 days of exposure to the bacteria.

Sudden onset of high fever
The classic sign is a smooth, painful swelling of a lymph gland(s), called a buboe.

It's all good then.

Ahh. I must have missed that then. Thanks for pointing it out. Glad to see I'm not the only one who would have been curious.

When I was kid, I got horrible nose bleeds for no known reason. They were random too, so I could be sitting in class, talking to someone or just trying to sleep. The doctor had to burn something inside my nose to make them stop.
