Nosebleeds in summer heat catch most people off guard. One moment you’re stepping out into a Karachi afternoon in May, and the next there’s blood on your shirt. It happens more than people expect, and in Pakistan’s scorching summers, where temperatures in Lahore and Multan regularly cross 42\u00b0C between May and July, the nasal lining takes a real beating.<\/p>\n
The medical term for a nosebleed is epistaxis (pronounced ep-ih-STAK-sis), which simply means bleeding from the blood vessels inside the nose. Most episodes are harmless and stop within ten minutes.
