and now for some pseudo science

I suffer from nosebleeds in dry environments. Well, ’suffer’ is probably an extreme description, perhaps ‘endure’ is better. This includes Salt Lake City, hotel rooms and aeroplanes. But today begins my testing of a new theory: nosebleeds and chapped lips are the same.

So, I have bought some Vaseline “Lip Therapy” gel, and in addition to applying it to my lips, I smear some on my index finger, and apply to the inside of my nose, in a “aren’t kids gross” manner.

I will report back later in the week how the experiment progresses.

    You should give Paw Paw ointment a try. Among other things it is fantastic for dry lips, and should be just as good for up your nose (plus smell better… and it’s edible).
