Teflon tape on brake bleed nipples?

If I only crack the nipple, then hardly any fluid comes out, if I crack it more, then fluid seeps out from around the threads. Someone suggested putting a few wraps of yellow teflon tape on the top threads of the bleed nipples. Anyone tried this or have any thoughts/advice?

Brake bleeder nipples and their corresponding calipers are designed to self seal. If there's leakage of brake fluid, either the nipple or the caliper need to be replaced, cleaned, or machined.
