Doctors aren't sure what causes the sanguineous discharge referred to as Haemolacria - but the last widely reported case was of a 15 year old Indian girl.
Superstitions and religious explanations aside - there has to be a medical reason for the condition.
When I was a kid, I would often get unexpected nosebleeds.
Usually, I could feel the barometric pressure rising and then I'd feel a small "pop".
The condition is common in children but is usually outgrown.
The kid in the above photo also had problems with frequent nosebleeds but he apparently had the condition "fixed" by doctors.
Maybe the blood is redirected to the next closest avenue of exit (kind of like blowing one's nose too hard and having fluid discharge through the sinus ducts of the eyes).
Maybe the doctors "fixed" one problem but created another.
