nosebleed

Boxer's red trickle

A nosebleed is bleeding from the nose, usually from dry air, injury, or irritation.

As an adjective, nosebleed describes extreme height or elevation: nosebleed seats are the cheapest tickets in an arena, so high up the thin air might cause bleeding.

Nosebleed prices or valuations are dangerously elevated.
