Talk:First Aid/External Bleeding

RED or the other way round
Whilst i appreciate the usefulness of the acronym to remember, it was deliberately written out as direct pressure, elevation and rest, because this is the priority order for treament, and i think it should be this way round in the explanation. Owain.davies 23:15, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Nosebleeds
I often get severe nosebleeds (sometimes lasting more than an hour) and have tried almost everything imaginable to treat nosebleeds. Pinching your nose closed and waiting for it to stop is one of the least effective methods.

I recently discovered that if I pour a bit of vinegar (or any form of ethanoic acid) onto a small amount of toilet paper/tissue and shove it up my nose, making sure the vinegar comes into contact with the source of bleeding, then the bleeding will stop within about 5 seconds. So far it has worked every time I tried this method and I would much rather recommend this method that pinching your nose and waiting for it to stop. 41.174.65.235 (discuss) 09:39, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
