I don't mind blood. Actually, at the moment, I have to go and make someone bleed. And I am being serious about that.
How much time..? xDThe_root_of_all_evil said:First of all, good for you.sky14kemea said:Today I'm giving blood in town (I always give blood around Christmas, dunno why), and I'm a little scared of needles too, so I always look away. But I'm not scared to look at my blood.
Secondly, that guy twitching after he's fainted. Could easily be me.
Tips: Eat a reasonable amount, drink a lot, take it slow, keep yourself occupied while they draw it out. Afterwards, give yourself time to recover.
Enough that you need. And well done. *hug*sky14kemea said:How much time..? xD
Man up and only drink water. Pop does bad things to your blood.sky14kemea said:hmm, good thinking, I didn't drink much the first time xDSkarin said:Drink lots of fluids (i.e. water) before going for donation. Water will help keep your blood pressure up preventing people from getting light headed.
Edit: .. Does Pepsi or Tango count? I don't like water on its own :0
I used to find it kind of unnerving, but I think I've grown out of that. I was recently involved in a little incident concerning an older bloke, a set of stairs and a rather rapid, head first, descent. He cracked his head open and it was blood all over the place, but it didn't bother at all.sky14kemea said:Just wondering how many people are squeamish at the sight of blood?

It's a little weird, if I'm bleeding, It doesn't bother me all that much, but if I see someone else's blood, I spazz and panic. xD
On a side note, I almost fainted last time and had to lie down (One other guy had a small fit O-o Scared the crap outta me, apparently he hadn't eaten or something) So anyone got any tips on how to prepare myself as well? ^^
Yeah, that kind of how i feel about the subject. I mean, i guess i am kinda squemish of blood... and needles... and injections. For example i almost fainted one time i had to give blood for some analyses. And i remember about two other times when i started feeling weak and getting light headed after hearing some discussions about blood. One of those times i actually fainted.Ham_authority95 said:But when someone else is bleeding, or is talking about blood in anyway,I get dizzy and my muscles won't work properly. Like right now.
Blood in video games dosn't have that effect on me for some reason
