I used to suffer from nosebleeds occassionally when I was a kid.<br><br>After being told numerous 'remedies' by various adults (tilting head backward, rags etc.) I finally settled on this one:<br><br>Go to the toilet cubicle, close the door, stuff some sheets of paper into the bowl, stand with head above toilet, don't touch nose at all and bleed into the bowl until no blood emerges for more than two minutes.<br><br>Emerge from cubicle (when there's no-one else around; the sight of a face full of blood tends to scare some people). Grab some sheets of tissue paper, wet them under the faucet, and gently clean the outside of the nose. Wash the rest of the face in the normal manner.<br><br>Ensure that there is no blood remaining anywhere. Drops of blood falling more than a few inches tend to create splashes in the most odd places. And blood in the toilet bowl goes hard very rapidly, so an occassional flush is required to get rid of it.
