Here is some general info on nosebleeds.

Nosebleeds -- even in someone who hasn't tended to have them -- are usually caused by something very minor.
Nosebleeds are usually caused by dry weather, the use of decongestant nasal sprays (which can dry nasal passages), excessive coughing or sneezing from a cold, or some sort of mild trauma. Sometimes, nosebleeds are associated with large doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, such as aspirin or ibuprofen -- drugs that can thin the blood and lead to bleeding.

Occasionally, nosebleeds can indicate a more serious problem, such as high blood pressure, so your father's doctor should measure his blood pressure during the visit.

If the nosebleeds are severe and continue, the physician should look into other possible causes. For instance, people on blood thinners, those with clotting problems, kidney failure, or certain cancers may suffer from severe nosebleeds, as can those with an infected skull fracture (usually preceded by a fall or other source of head trauma). A thorough physical exam, with a complete history, can help eliminate any of these more serious causes.


Hope this helps!

If you were trying to abuse it and took it through your nose, then no.
