Nosebleeds are scary! I had bad allergies when I was a kid and would wake up at night with blood pouring down my face. It would take forever to stop, too. Haven't had one in a while, but from experience, I can see how easy it might be to die from one. That being said, I enjoy mining for nose goblins even more than walks on the beach and quiet dinners at home.

@girlontop: She had recovered from a drug addiction but her brain was somehow wired to make her think she had a permanent itch on her forehead. And she went on itching till she went through her skull.

And survived.

How does it go again? "You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your degenerative mental illness"?

I worked my way through college as a medic/EMT so I'm too hardened to get skeeved out at this or the worm thread (yes, I did click the link and looked at the pictures). I can say that I have seen a few real bitchin' bad nosebleeds though and I don't doubt the possibility of bleeding to death that way.

This poor guy had several problems working against him. What a lousy way to go.

God, what next? Zit picking? Maybe I'd better get with that life insurance. I've got debt. I can't afford to just pop off from embarrassing personal habits.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: Zit popping opens you up to a nasty MRSA infection. Not that it stops me.

Strikes 1 and 2. What's 3? Biting my fingernails will cause me to choke to death on a stray nail?

@shorty63136: No but if you also pick at/chew your cuticles you can get infections (normally non-damaging) and also warts/other skin problems that can permanently disfigure your nail bed and mess up future nail growth. Not that I'd, uh, know...

I literally had the finger in, digging for gold... and then this story appears on my screen. Yikes!!!!! I don't have dimentia, so I should probs be ok, but I do live in a shithole moldy apartment, so I'm constantly dealing with nasal shit.

OMG, grandma was right! In other news, a Swedish man condemned to perpetually stick out his tongue and scrunch up his cheeks found out that yes, if you make funny faces, your face will stay that way.

@Your Screenplay Sucks: Also, this surpasses being killed by a falling Coke machine (about 4 reported cases per year!) as the most embarrassing death ever.

@Your Screenplay Sucks: i was electrocuted by a pop/soda/coke machine (take your pick based on where you are from in the US) as a freshman in high school after track practice. weirdest. feeling. ever. and also incredibly embarrassing when EVERYONE found out about it by the time i got to school the next monday.

at least it makes a good story.
