I used to get a lot of nosebleeds but I haven't had one at all in 2006... then on 1-4-07 I got one again, then on 1-5-07 I got another one, then today, 1-06-07, I got another one... also in the last 4 days, I have been eating a lot of Pretzels which are very salty... I just thought, maybe that was the cause... if you know anything about this let me know...

I guess there are a couple ways salt could cause it. First, if you have high blood pressure aggravated by salt, the higher blood pressure can give you a nose bleed. Salt also dehydrates you, so maybe a dehydrated person has a drier nasal passage.
If you recently had to turn up the furnace, the air in your home gets very dry. Dry air is the worst for me (for nosebleeds) and a more common problem than salt intake.
