Nosebleeds are common injuries and can be easily treated, according to Canada's St. John Ambulance.

Here's how to handle a bloody nose:

• Sit down with your head leaning slightly forward.
• Pinch the soft part of your nose for about 10 minutes.
• Loosen the clothing around your neck and breathe through your mouth.
• Don't sniff or blow your nose for a couple of hours.
