Having a nose bleed is ghastly, more so because of the bloody sight.
Studies have shown that about 50 per cent of people will experience nose bleeding. However, the causes of most of these incidences go unexplained.
Among those that can be explained occur in people suffering from conditions like a common cold or flu.
Purity Mwangi falls in this category. “I nose bled once because I had a running nose and that was five years ago. It has never happened again,” says Purity.
