Well, as was pointed out so wonderfully by bigdaddymike above, I cuss at first too. But then I pinch my finger. For some reason, that is always my first reaction in that manner....I do not suck on it. I do not jump up and down swinging my hand around...as I have seen some people do. ha ha That just makes a mess and personally, I don't want to make a mess because I will be the one to clean it up! ha ha So...I pinch my cut finger to stop the bleeding right away. Then after I have held it there for a moment, I will go to the sink and start the water to rinse and see how deep it is. This way I know how to care for it. Have you used the medical super glue? It is awesome!!! It has saved me and my kids many of trips to get stitches! Of course there are times when you have to get stitches. But if it is something that would only require a few stitches, the medical super glue works wonders!!! :)

If I'm home, I wash my finger under cold water in the faucet. After drying it, I go get a band aid, but I use the kind that already has medicine on the middle part. Kind of cuts out the middle man, so to speak.

My first reaction is suck the blood because it can be disinfected, and don't asked who told me because I forget, huh ~ ~ ~ In fact, I am curious, I fear blood, I will see others halo bloody past, but not harm my own blood, and why?lol.....
