10 Causes of Nose Bleeds

Cause #8: Foreign Bodies In The Nose
This is another cause of nose bleeds that are generally more likely to occur in children. A foreign body could be anything that doesn’t belong in the nose: a grain of sand, a crayon, a piece of tissue, a toy, and more. Since kids are endlessly fascinated with the sensation of jamming things into their nasal cavities, they are more likely to develop nose bleeds from doing such.
However, even adults can end up with unfamiliar objects in their noses. If you work in a dusty area, for example, then you are likely to inhale a lot of dry particulate matter if you don’t wear protection. This can dry out your nose and contribute to nose bleeds.
