Recently I started sparring a bit and learned that I have an extremely weak nose. Every time I get lightly grazed on my nose, I have instant nose bleeds.

I'm not one of those guys that grew up having random nose bleeds, but if it's touched, it's sure to leak.

Does your nose eventually adjust and toughen up over time or is this something I just have to learn to deal with by religiously protecting my nose?

I also hear that snorting salt water is good for that, but I'm not really sure.

Any ideas?
