Hi Byron, The only thing I can think of to ask yourself, does it also happen when I eat a hot disch at home. If it doesn't happen at home, they might use something your allergic too... I can think of a few things they might use but are to dificult to translate in English Just my two-cent of thought Regards and good luck finding the cause Rob NL -----Original Message----- From: Byron [mailto:byronbromley@tellink.net] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 10:20 PM To: chile-heads@globalgarden.com Subject: [CH] Nose Bleeds Has anyone heard of the following condition? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey folks, I went to my favorite resturant last night and had a meal almost hot enough to melt the plate. Yes it was very good. About half way through I got a spontainious nose bleed. Sweating, sniffling and tears I can handle but bleeding in public just seems rude to me. This is the second time this has happened while eating very hot meals and it has never happened otherwise. Does anybody know the cause? My blood pressure is not too high, I recently got a checkup and the doc pronounced me fit to keep. Also does anybody know how to cure/prevent this problem. It is really embarassing. Thanks,
