Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antagonist to vitamin K. Some foods and topical substances these days are preserved with vitamin E, so it pays to read labels carefully. One of my sons, who otherwise has not had any unusual bleeding problems or easy bruising, developed a severe nose bleedfrom a hand sanitizer that had vitamin E used as a preservative. He woke up in the middle of the night one about high vitamin e foods
night with clots coming out of his nose, so I tried to think of what we had done differently that day as a possible cause. Then I remembered I had bought both kids a new hand sanitizing lotion at the local pharmacy, I checked the ingredients on the bottle and vitamin E was listed. So I gave him a lettuce salad to eat which stopped the bleeding and threw out the sanitizer. He has not had another nose bleed since that time.
