Probably would be, but I used to roll a piece of cotton wool in cayenne and shove it up my old Dads nose when he had massive nosebleeds. Stopped the bleeding but didn't cause him any pain.
Pepper stops bleeding by clotting it curiously enough (you can test this with even ordinary pepper if you cut yourself ) and I've even heard Cayenne used as an emergency remedy to stop bleeding ulcers and other internal bleeding.
Kind of weird when you think it also dilates vessels and thins blood so it can run more smoothly through the dilated vessels but also clots excess blood. Reminds me a bit of the contradictions with celery - on the one hand it's full of sodium, on the other it has an ingredient that will lower blood pressure. Seems Cayenne also has contradictory benefits.
Not sure I trust this. Read a review that snorting cayenne can help unclog your ears. Pretty sure snorting cayenne would be extremely painful.

That is a wild story. May have to try this with a nosebleed sometime
