Thread: Smell of blood (while working out)

Does anyone else get this? I asked on another forum and they looked at me like I was

There's another forum?

I actually get the same thing but I actually do bleed. I have to go get it quarterized....I think that's what it's called.

Maybe you are getting some sort of nosebleed, but its so minimal nothing actually comes out but you get the smell anyways? Tis a strange one...

small artery bursts from strain. .somewhere from your head to your your gut and digestive tracts..
loads of solutions loads of remedies. if it matters to you you'll find one and use it. ?Left untended .. shrug.. i wouldn't do it.

The verb to cauterize; known in English since 1541; from Medieval French cauteriser; from Late Latin cauterizare "to burn or brand with a hot iron"; itself from Greek kauteriazein; from kauter "burning or branding iron"; from kaiein "to burn." Cauterization was used to stop heavy bleeding, especially during amputations. The procedure was simple: a piece of metal was heated over fire and applied to the wound. This would cause tissues and blood to heat rapidly to extreme temperatures in turn causing coagulation of the blood thus controlling the bleeding.
