A lot of allergy prone folks in my family have some problems with minor
nosebleeds in the dry heating season, but my mother had worse nosebleeds
like the OP, that had to be cauterized.

I live in a fairly humid climate. When I go out west, I get several nosebleeds
from the dry air.

Interesting observation. Years ago I saw the ER doctor give a man cocaine to
try to stop his nosebleed. Didn't work, they had to cauterize it.

Also when I was a Paramedic I had a patient die from a nosebleed (anterior
aneurysm). He had a nosebleed for 2 days before his wife called an ambulance.
