Bacon Stops 4 Year Old's Nosebleed
Email print Comments 0

Could cramming a piece of bacon up your nose stop an uncontrollable nosebleed? Some doctors in Michigan say yes. They say the fatty pork helped save the life of a four year old girl whose nose would not stop bleeding. The child was diagnosed with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, a rare genetic platelet disorder, and doctors were able to stop her nose bleed twice with bacon.
They recommend raw bacon. One of doctors recalled the recommendation he had head in a surgical field manual while in the military -- use pork to stop bleeding.

“And if the child is Muslim, he just bleeds to death?”
No, they’ll just strap a bomb on him so he can die as a ‘martyr’

Still, I don’t think anyone would want to eat it once it’s stuffed up someone’s bloody nose.

Think I’ll use some bearing grease or super glue to stop the bleeding.
