Why? Well, Canada’s winter respiratory virus season got off a late start and now it is in full swing, officials say. That suggests more people are sick with the flu and landing in the hospital compared to years past.

    I get this sometimes when sick. Its usally blood that came from my nose or nasal area from irritation, over blowing, or dryness. The blood gets stuck in the mucus and can come out when coughing.

      Yeah that’s pretty much it. It’s more like bloody mucus than straight up blood.

      I did cough up a crip once. That was unnerving.
