Funny how people seem to nearly panic when they get a cut. Also, it seems there are some misconceptions about it. If the cut isn't too deep, ie an artery or several vessels its not a bad thing. Blood from a wound serves as a decontaminator and after it sets it becomes a shield for said wound.

you might want to get that checked out.

on topic: my reaction to seeing my own blood is usually connected to how much trouble i'll have cleaning it up. I get nosebleeds from time to time and those are really annoying because there's not a really good way to bandage them.

My reaction to my own blood is the same as my reaction to anyone else's blood: "Someone's injured, I'd better get out the first aid kit." If it's a small cut (such as the one I got shaving the other day), it's more of an "eh, it'll heal," whereas big, gaping wounds put me into crisis mode -- by which I mean I mentally and physically enter a state wherein I am ready and able to do whatever is needed to end the crisis (in this case, it usually involves bandages and/or steristrips), not that I lock up because it's a crisis.

That response is so pronounced in me that I seriously considered a career as an EMT at one point.

Only trouble I have is watching a needle go in to draw blood. Once its in I can sit there and watch it spurt out but if I watch it go in I get sick.

My reaction tends to change depending on the situation. If it's my own while I'm at work, I get annoyed cuz then I have to worry about handling things until I get a bandaid. Any other situation (whether my own or not) I want to have a taste. Yeah I'm one of those freaks that likes to suck blood =^.^=

When I start bleeding, and notice it, I often try to make sure I don't get blood on my clothes. If I don't notice that I am bleeding, but later notices that I have bled, I often respond with "Well, that explains the small bit of pain..."
