I just lightly blew my nose and nothing but blood came out !??
Question: I am currently in a very dusty and dry enviornment. Will this turn into an infection ? Help.....
Answers: No, the dusty dry environment is why your nose is bleeding. It is dried out. Once the nosebleed stops, go to the store and get some saline spray to keep it moist. (Like Ayr or some other similar product...not Afrin or decongestant sprays).
blow harder
I don't think it will turn into an infection. Just get out of that dusty and dry environment.
It is just dry sinuses. You will be fine.
shouldn't turn into an infection unless you are snorting the dust...i often get bloody noses in dry environments and no infection as of yet...knock on wood...cheers
you need to drink at least 3 tall large glasses of warm water in the next hour... spread it out...
and then... do it again...
You might have something as simple as an allergy. If it doesn't stop bleeding in 5 min go to the clinic.
I used to get nose bleeds allot. is the climate dry where you live? if so , that and the dust are the reason why. get some nose drops , and don't blow so hard.
It probably won't. But you will want a humidifier in your home, or wherever you live.
No you won't turn into a infected nose.
When your internal mucous membranes in your nose are irritated by dusty dry air they dry out and bleed. I suggest you take a washcloth and soak with hot water, then hold the wash cloth up to the base of your nose and inhale deeply. This moisture will help heal your membranes. If you need to spend MORE time in this environment, after you 'sniff up' moisture as described, line your nostrils (as high as you can GENTLY reach) with vaseline petroleum jelly. The jelly will coat your membranes preventing splitting or cracking or further irritation. When you blow your nose you will get some vaseline back out. But you only need to lightly layer.
IF you have to sleep in a dry environment, or work in it constantly you can use a humidifier that you can plug in. Or put bowls of water around where it will evaporate into the air.
You ARE more prone to catching cold viruses etc when the membranes in your nose are 'open' because of irritation. So avoid those people until your nose is better.
Good luck.
You need humidity.
you aren't on any blood thinners, or suffering liver damage are you?
If you are a soldier in the gulf I had the same problem. Take your tee shirt bandanna thing and get it wet wear that over your nose & mouth for a while that should help.
The sand was so fine where I was that it was like powder. We would use Qtips to clean our noses out and it was like mud.
Good luck & God Bless

Stop blowing, use a gentle, lubricant nasal spray instead.
I also suffer from severe allergies (to dust, grass, pollen, etc.) and it has happened to me, so you've probably irritated the blood vessels in your nose so much that you burst a capillary. Don't worry, it's no biggie, just stop messing with it or it'll get all scabby.
Stop doing cocaine....that should help.
its just dry go and get some saline spray to keep it moist and if it keeps on bleeding go to the doctor
and
Well Pete.....I was gonna tell you to leave the cocaine alone until I read your profile, LOL!!! Seriously being in that environment can definitely do a number on your sinuses....You should however at least ask a medical professional because honestly it could be a number of things.
Dry conditions could do it, for sure.
Happens to me too sometimes.
I don't think it is an indication of an infection at all,
I really think it's because of the dryness.
You either have very dry nose or possibly sinusitis.
Try putting a little vaseline or aquaphor on a q-tip and gently rub the inside of your nose with it, it will probably feel gross the first time you do it but you will get relief from it. Saline nasal spray is also good, don't squirt too much at once or it will run down into your throat, but it does moisturize nasal passages and helps you to breath better.
You're probably going to die.
