Stick salt pork up your nose

Tiktaalik · 27th January 2012, 02:45 PM

Wow, who knew? If a doctor tried sticking salt pork up my nose, I might be suspicious (don't go there...)!

I think you're worrying a bit much about a word that has several uses. It's just a general term for a plug inserted into something. The plugs that keep rain out of the barrels of cannons are called tampons, for example. Plugging a hole by inserting something into it is 'tamping', and the process of being plugged is 'tamponade'. Just as a by-the-way, vaginal tampons (which was presumably what you were thinking of?) make excellent tampons for general use, and have been used to pack nasal bleeds. So have urinary catheters, but that's a tale for another time, which I think I'll tell when everyone else is trying to eat...

Good grief - the questions...

Who first discovered salt pork was good for nosebleeds? How many other things did he try first? [maybe it was found to be good for other bleeding wounds before the nose became a target].

Is this a kosher treatment?

I lernt it the other way- Always fry bacon in the all-together. That way you will keep the heat low, not so hot to burn the bacon- or other stuff with the splattering.

casebro · 29th January 2012, 05:58 AM

My adult nephew just needed an ambulance ride to the hospital for a nose bleed. (I'm not kidding. Stupid brat, and his Mom the worry wart nurse)

They tried different things, ended up with inserting a balloon of some kind and pumping it full of water. The hose will stick out of his nostril for three days before they deflate it at a doctors visit.

Guess they didn't have any salt pork handy.

I'll extend that to don't fry naked. Making a salad, carpaccio, smoothy, are all fine. Oh and there's this great cold speck (cold salt cured pork) dish that's sort of an arugula and horseradish salad on top of layers of ham that I had in a beer garden in Salzburg you can probably make naked safely. Frying though, right out.

MatildaGage · 29th January 2012, 07:53 AM

Pork enzymes are also great for getting blood stains out of clothing. I used to have daily nosebleeds & would use my contact lens cleaner tablets to get the stains out. The ingredient listed was pork enzyme.

If the pork enzyme is the ingredient in both the nasal tampon and the stain remover, then I find that confusing? Something causes coagulation and then breaks down blood?

I think in the article (without re-reading it) the docs thought it had to do with the salt rather than the pork...pork just being a nice conveyor of the salt...

I have the occasional nose-bleed, mainly because I am on Warfarin (aka rat-poison) as a clot preventer due to having a plastic heart valve.

I have found over the years that dipping a Q-tip (cotton-bud or whatever you want to call it) into salt works very well to stop the flow.

I once used the garlic salt container, instead of the regular salt, and really enjoyed the experience.

Well of course you can make it naked safely - what's it gonna do - beat you up with it's little porky hands while you rip it's lederhosen off???

jhunter1163 · 29th January 2012, 01:17 PM

I bet there's a ICD-9 code for "pork in nose". I know there's one for "bean in nose". ETA: It's E912.

Just don't use the seasoned salt. The paprika might burn.

So salt stops the bleeding?

I'll try it next time my knuckle gets scraped during on of my mechanical escapades. The half-an-aspirin a day must be prit near to making me anemic. Lots of escapades around here.

lol rubbing salt into your wounds? would be a quick way to learn not to scrape yourself
