Can anyone tell me what causes nosebleeds? I have never had one, but recently(on a weekly basis) several students (12) have sudden nosebleeds.
They run to the bathroom and stuff it with toilet paper. Until now, I had only seen nosebleeds during intensive study time before the BIG test for high school students.(maybe two or three in several years.)
Now, its elementary kids, literally every day. Should I be worried and is there anything I can do to help in this situation?

It's too much digging for treasures. When they start vomiting from all the blood or start turning white then you can start worrying. Otherwise don't worry too much about it. Maybe they are unacclimated to a change in the humidity around them.

They can be caused by vitamin K deficiency, dry air, and pollution as well as stress or just blowing your nose too much when you have a cold.

It's probably due to the seasons changing. Or not enough kale.

dry air = dry mucous = an itch that must be scratched

alternatively, if living in an area with bullet proof glass, local gangstas punched your student's nose and stole their gim-bab money
