Nose bleeds and bacon (places, people, weird)

[mjd07]

My third grader loves trivia books and was reading from "Weird But True" (Vol. 5).

Get this..."Sticking raw bacon up your nostrils can stop serious nose bleeds." (page 20)

How do people come up with the idea to do things like this?

I never heard of anything like that before....................... however I don't waste bacon that way I'd rather have a couple of eggs over easy with some hash-browns..

A finger has seen more unsanitary places than a slice of bacon - and we all know those go right up the nose.

Is turkey bacon allowed? It isn't pork.

However I'm not Jewish, so I guess I can't properly answer that.

Then use your finger.

It's the fat that does the trick. A dab of petroleum jelly works just as well (in fact, better).
