...when handling perlite. I was mixing up some of my mix earlier and I just got a bad nose bleed, and I never get nose bleeds.

What is perlite? Expanded volcanic glass like material, right? I have a giant bag of it, but I am careful to use a dust mask.

So, you don't actually do anything with it?
You just keep a 'giant bag' of it and enjoy wearing a dusk mast near it....?

Explains a lot.

I don't want to worry you but I've never heard about Perlite causing nose bleeds.
Get yourself checked out, just in case, it's something else.

It could be something irritating your nasal membrane
or it could be the first symptoms of a cerebral aneurism.

Let a doctor shine a light up your snozzle, just to be sure.
