First they make fun of you, then they attack you, eventually when it finally becomes mainstream twenty years later everyone knew it all along and it was self evident.
Is there nothing that can’t be solved with the judicious application of bacon?

The boffins from the US and India took home the gong for their paper on treating “uncontrollable" nosebleeds by packing the nose with strips of cured pork.

She said that stuffing the patient’s nose with pork was a bit of a last resort after conventional treatment failed.
...
The old wives’ tale works because of the clotting factors in the meat and the high level of salt from curing, which helps soak up the blood. It’s not one that you should try at home for a regular nosebleed, though, and not just because it’s a waste of good pork. The treatment is only a last resort for unstoppable bleeds because it could cause infection.
