Ugh. Gross! I've never had a nosebleed except for the time I was hit in the face with a golfclub. It would honestly suck to get them from low humidity...
I used to get them in Denver from the dryness, although never very seriously. The worst one I got was in 9th grade, when I sneezed as a test was starting, broke a blood vessel in my nose, and spent the rest of the hour in the nurse's office lying down as they tried to get it to stop. :D
This was the school where my mother taught, and it was her conference period so she came and hovered around me, and the 8th grade class was getting their eyes tested, so they all filed right by me, staring because I was the most exciting thing happening that day. Fun.
Bwah! Aw, that would have sucked. I grew up in a desert, so I used to get nosebleeds quite frequently as a child. The doctors actually considered doing some kind of surgery to prevent them, but I eventually grew out of it. I haven't had one in years and years now, but I still remember soaking several towels with blood. (Er, sorry if that was TMI. 8D) I think I had a couple bad ones at school, too, but at least there were no rubberneckers around staring at me! *dies* It was kind of amusing, though, because whenever I got a nosebleed the people who were around me would inevitably get worried by the duration and volume of blood, and I'd be the tiny kid with a hanky to my nose telling them calmly that it would stop soon. Probably.
THe second time I gave blood at a blood drive at my highschool, it didn't stop bleeding. In the canteen area afterwards, I looked down as I was reaching to get a cookie and noted that it was pouring blood all over my shirt. I just said. "Excuse me. Could you hand me some napkins?" and everyone else about passed out. XD
A nurse came in and sat with me until we got it stopped, and taught me the secret to removing bloodstains from clothing - saline solution. And then I got to go home and change my shirt, so I ended up with most of the day off. :) And afterwards had a HUGE nasty bruise and clot and grossed out several of my friends that way. Including one who couldn't finish her lunch because of it, but I had no sympathy as she'd just told us that she refused to sign her organ donor card because the idea of organ transplants was icky. (No lie!)
Oh, it SO is. I had a boy get a nosebleed during the greeting at the beginning of class once, and as soon as everyone realized the kid had gotten a nosebleed, the smartass sitting behind him snarked, "So what the hell you YOU thinking about, hmm?" in Japanese.
The "worst" was when a boy got a nosebleed in the middle of a class where they were acting out shopping for clothes--he got one while watching some of the other boys putting on and taking off one of my skirts during the "May I try it on?" part.
...it's bad when the TEACHER starts snarking you about what kinda pervy things are you thinking. >XD
