Most people just stick a bit of tissue on the nick and in a few minutes the bleeding stops,right?
Well, sometimes it doesn't. That happened to my husband a few nights ago. He spent dinner dabbing at his chin to keep the blood from dripping into his plate. When it didn't stop after an hour or so, I went on line to find a remedy - and did!
I used the first one I found: Cayenne pepper. Just a teensey pinch of it, applied twice to the nick, and the bleeding stopped within about a minute and a half.
But not everyone has cayenne pepper on the shelf, so I'll tell you the other remedies I found:
Sugar
Nasal spray
eye drops
peroxide
Every household is bound to have at least one of those on hand.
According to what I read, the reason these work is they all act to constrict the blood vessels - shutting off the flow.
I'm glad I found these - I don't get many razor nicks, but sure do get "claw nicks" from a cat who insists she needs to be on my lap while I'm at the computer.
Yours for a happy November,
Marte
