There seems to be an endless stream of suggestions on how to stop a nosebleed but I came across one that I had not heard before and the explanation for why it works is completely logical. You stop the nosebleed by pressing keys or a cold butter knife to the back of the person’s neck. The explanation as to why this works is because of the mammalian dive reflex.

Seasonal allergies afflict many Americans, with symptoms occurring anywhere from early spring through late November. Our immune system’s over reaction to pollens, grass, airborne fungi, animal hair and even some kinds of foods. Our environment has become more and more toxic which causes our immune system to be compromised. Runny noses, watery eyes and sneezing are the result of our body fighting back the allergen by producing an excess of inflammatory chemicals, such as histamine. Often these symptoms create other problems such as sinus infection, throat infections and ear infections which can be extremely painful and debilitating.
