Humidity and nose bleeds?

Humidity and nose bleeds?

Hello. A few days ago, when I was taking a very hot shower, I got a great gusher of a nosebleed. At first I thought it was just a freak occurence - but now it has happened again when I was taking such a shower (thankfully not half as bad). Humidity is supposed to aid, and not cause, nosebleeds, right? Has anyone else experienced this or have any explanation?

Heat can dilate (expand) the veins that can cause the nosebleed.  That's why I recommend folks to not drink hot fluids after a nosebleed.
