Don't let anyone hit or hurt you, don't fall, don't use scissors, nail clippers, etc.\n\nif at all possible, go into a giant bubble and become blood proof.\nmake sure your nails are clipped so they don't break and bleed. stay out of cold weather so u have no nose bleeds. cut your animal's nails, don't let them bite you. stay away from paper so you don't get paper cuts, card board cuts or plastic cuts.\n\n\nso technically, what I'm trying to say is that that is physically impossible but good luck anyway. just be more careful and don't wear flip-flops because you could skim your toe on the ground.\n\nLuv Ya,\nTAY

Do you have any white t-shirts? or even white undergarments, cloth? Don't use papertowels or anything that will shred like tissue. Cut the white cloth into strips and wrap the toe snugly (not tight). Elevate the leg on a couple of pillows to slow the bleeding until morning. Your open wound will not rot. Just make sure to keep it clean.

You need to remove the offending wound, either by getting to the source of the ulcer, or by surgery. As you already know if you have already lost that much blood, it can possibly be fatal.

Health care persons/workers should adhere to the following universal precautions: \nIf you have cuts or other abrasions then cover them with a waterproof plaster. \nMop up blood spills using gloves and paper towels and wash with either detergent or a chlorine solution made from NaDCC (sodium dichloroisocyanurate) tablets. For large spillages NaDCC granules should be available. An alternative is to use a 1% solution of sodium hypochlorite. \n'Spill Kits' containing the above items may also be available in some districts for use in the community. In instances where NaDCC tablets are not available, diluted household bleach should be used. \nIn hospital settings all linen with blood on it should be sealed in a water-soluble bag. This should then be placed in a red marked bag and labeled according to hospital procedures. Linen contaminated in the community should be washed on a hot wash cycle (approx. 70 degrees). If a machine is not available, contact should be made with the Infection Control Department. \nIn domestic settings pads, sanitary wear and disposable nappies should be (double) wrapped in polythene bags and put in a lidded bin away from children, or put in an incinerator where available. Hands should be washed before and after changing nappies, or disposable gloves should be used. \nTerry nappies and protective plastic pants should be washed as normal (soaked in a bucket with nappy cleanser, rinsed and washed with hot water and detergent). \nWear latex gloves when coming into contact with blood, skin and mucous membrane cuts, or any open skin lesion. \nUse gloves only for the care of one child, then discard the gloves. \nWash hands after discarding the gloves. \nProperly dispose of contaminated materials exposed to blood, such as needles. \nStrict adherence to universal precautions prevents exposure to blood-borne pathogens including HIV and hepatitis B. \nhttp://www.indiaids.org/hiv_aids/univer_precaution.asp\nWearing of appropriate protective gloves at all times when touching blood, saliva, other body fluids or secretions, mucous membranes, nonintact skin, blood-soiled items or bodily fluid–soiled items, contaminated surfaces, and sterile body areas, and during instrument cleaning and decontamination procedures; \nDiscarding gloves used following treatment of a patient and changing to new gloves if torn or damaged during treatment of a patient; washing hands and donning new gloves prior to performing services for another patient; and washing hands and other skin surfaces immediately if contaminated with blood or other body fluids; \nWearing of appropriate masks, gowns or aprons, and protective eyewear or chin-length plastic face shields whenever splashing or spattering of blood or other body fluids is likely to occur; \nSterilizing equipment and devices that enter the patient’s vascular system or other normally sterile areas of the body; \nSterilizing equipment and devices that touch intact mucous membranes but do not penetrate the patient’s body, or using high-level disinfection for equipment and devices that cannot be sterilized prior to use for a patient; \nUsing appropriate agents, including but not limited to detergents for cleaning all equipment and devices prior to sterilization or disinfection; \nCleaning, by use of appropriate agents, including but not limited to detergents, equipment and devices that do not touch the patient or that only touch the intact skin of the patient; \nMaintaining equipment and devices used for sterilization according to the manufacturer’s instructions; \nAdequately monitoring the performance of all personnel, licensed or unlicensed, for whom the licensee is responsible regarding infection control techniques; \nPlacing disposable used syringes, needles, scalpel blades, and other sharp instruments in appropriate puncture-resistant containers for disposal; and placing reusable needles, scalpel blades, and other sharp instruments in appropriate puncture-resistant containe

Be careful taking so much Apirin each day..it is not just a pain reliever..it is also what is termed..anti-coagulant. It thins the blood and makes you suceptible to bleeding and easily bruising. My advice as a registered nurse is to go to your doctor and explain what has been going on. They can then order the appropriate blood work up and talk to you about the results and things to do regarding your health. Tell them about your familial history too, it is important. Stay safe and get cracking to the doctor ok..:)

Yes, the male will survive unless the extensive bleeding causes death. \n\nThe bleeding and intense pain will cause a loss of consciousness and probably the individual should be treated for shock.\n\nFor most men, the psychological effect will be devastating.

You should drink lots of water to make up for the lost fluids. Avoid alcohol.\n\nGet lots of rest and avoid strenuous exercise for a while.\n\nOne of the possible effects of losing lots of blood is that you become anaemic. To help with this eat foods that are high in iron: red meat, dried fruit and leafy green vegetables are good. Whenever he gives blood, my husband always eats black pudding (blood sausage) for breakfast the following day (I'm vegetarian, so I don't). Stout (e.g. Guinness) is also supposed to be full of iron (it used to be prescribed for pregnant women who were anaemic) but it is alcoholic.\n\nIf you have lost a huge amount of blood you should see a doctor - you might need to have a blood transfusion to replace it, and you need to have treatment for whatever caused you to loose so much blood.

It is a tourniquet, and is not recommended except in the most extreme cases and only by health care professionals!  Those are dangerous things if you don't know what you're doing!  Constant direct pressure, elevation,  and pressure points are recommended remedies for controlling bleeding and work most of the time.

First identify the cause.  If you are hypertensive, you have to control your blood pressure.  If the environment is warm, you have to stay in a cool place.  Press on the area just below the nostril, near the angle of the nose, to stop the main supply going to the Little's area, the source of the nose bleed.  You don't have to lean your head back, this only redirects the blood to the posterior pharyngeal area, and may just cause you to aspirate.  If bleeding persists or is recurrent, you will need a doctor to do nasal packing and eventually cauterization of the site.

Someone who's blood doesn't clot like normal, so when they get cut (or bleed in general) it is very dangerous for them.  They can essentially bleed to death a lot easier than normal people.
