They can cauterize the nostrils, but that's not exactly my idea of fun. >>
Yea, I have a family friend who is an ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctar... he did that cautarizing thing for me cuz I used to have at LEAST 2-3 nosebleeds a day- whenever I took a shower. all they do is take a gauze pad coated with some chemical, then shove it up your nose, then take it back out, then shove up a q-tip covered with some other chemical to produce a chemical reaction that generates a lot of heat. I forget what chemicals exactly, and part of the inside of my nose turned brown as the result of this, but it went away after a while

but yea, it worked wonders... I've only had about 3-4 nosebleeds since, and I had the cautarizing thing done the winter of '99. I dunno how much they cost though, because I my uncle did it for free
