Saw this in a movie..

The guy's got a light bleed..  this guy rips up some cigarettes onto some tissue and makes a compress..

This should be BAD.. correct?

It's not sanitary.

Super glue works better anyway. That's what I use when I cut myself by accident. Hospitals too

Wait so he puts the tobacco in the compress? Nicotine is toxic, I don't think that would be a good idea.

Using a tobacco compress to stop light bleeding is an old folk remedy. Strictly temporary and only if nothing better is available, of course.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Interesting.

Don't throw out the antibiotic ointment just yet.

u mean that one post on ask wiki? LOLOL

I saw this pdf.. it says the tobacco thing is a myth..

http://www.kcfirstaid.com/images/first_aid_myths_mistakes.pdf


But honestly... I think anything that works like a gauze.. that soaks up liquid and holds blood there for it to clot will work to stop light bleeding..

So maybe it's not as much a myth.. as it's just that light bleeding can be stopped by anything...

Computer paper would probably work too.

I take it packing in a bunch of dirt and covering with something would work also in a bind?
