A member asked:
Im a carpenter and sometimes have blood in my nose. could it be from sawdust?

Carpenter's nose: If you are around a lot of dust, this could cause sneezing and blowing to clear debree. If so, this could increase your risk. Would also have blood pressure checked, as high blood pressure can also increase risk of nasal bleeding.

In a way-DRYNESS: The sawdust most likely causes an irritation and dryness of your nasal passages and the normally moist mucosal lining of them. This irritation and dryness predisposes you to rhinitis for sure as well as possible epistaxis (nose bleeds). Best for you to use a mask or re-breather if constantly around saw dust, and prevent the condition before it continues to happen. Good luck.
