Gentlemen-
I am sometimes prone to bloody noses (especially after being punched in the face

, but often enough without any provocation). Sometimes I will go months without experiencing one, and then one day I will just be walking along and my nose will start gushing blood. While usually minor, they are extremely annoying and generally detrimental to any and all social interaction. I was curious if any of you guys who have BTDT could dispense some of your wisdom about methods of controlling or curing this. Thanks.
(As a side note, I recall a thread about hiccups giving some of the best advice I have ever heard about annoying health issues, courtesy of TR--something along the lines of "I told myself I would stop, so I did". That sums up prevention pretty well as far as I'm concerned, so I guess I'm more interested in good ways to deal with it once it starts bleeding.)
