Does the sight of blood bother you?
 

When I get a cut and bleed, I can patch myself up. When I see anyone else get injured and there a loss of blood involved, even on TV, I swear I can “feel” it in my nuts and I have to look away or I’ll get woozy. No way could I work in the medical field.

I can bleed like a stuck pig and it doesn’t bother me. Small cuts on other people are not a problem.

Big gashes and gore on other people bother me. Not physically but mentally.

Having gutted many a deer....no. Not one bit. Heights however......

Me too.

I think if I had to hunt for food, I’d probably become a vegetarian

I can deal with blood, severed limbs, you name it.

But ask me to pick up fresh dog poop or clean up vomit and I turn into the gagging heave-meister.

Nope. Grew up on a farm. Killed lots of critters. Managed to hurt/wound myself in some spectacular ways (both on the farm and later in the military). It does not bother me a bit.

Ex Army Medic so no.

The sight of my own blood bothers me.

Anyone else's, not one bit.

Yes, I have literally passed out seeing a picture on a slide show. If I get cut, I immediately get low and get a bandage on it.

First time I got light headed was in HS biology, I had to leave the class and walk around the hallway.

Ditto....

I have passed out 3 times in my life from staring at one of my bad heavy bleeding wounds.
Other peoples blood does not have the same effect. It is so weird.

I have lost my lunch many times when being around someone else who is vomiting. I can't deal with baby diapers either. When I married my wife, she came with two kids who were past the diaper stage. Now I have 5 grandkids.... That said, at 56 years old I do not ever recall changing a diaper. Sometimes if I even catch a whiff when my wife or daughter is changing the grandkids diapers I start gagging.

It has served me well as I never have to change diapers. ;):D

I used to have no tolerance for that sort of thing. The first time I tried to give blood, they tell me I turned a"delightful shade of green " when the technician pricked the end of my finger to determine iron levels.
Since then, multiple equines, dogs, cats and kids have exposed me to enough bodily fluids and solids that it's a non issue.
Ain't life wonderful?

Not a big fan of either. Blood tests or blood donation, I won't watch the needle or whatever going in.

I'm a fainter, got it from mom.

Nope not at all.

Maybe it was printing crime scene photos for a while when I was younger. One thing about every TV or movie show about a murder or shooting is the amount of blood. They never show the real volume of blood that is just everywhere.

I don't think blood bothers me. I don't remember ever having blood bother me. But then I don't remember a time when I was around anyone with a really big wound that would have bled a lot.

no. but sometimes the texture does.

as an intern back in college i got loaned out to another group, where they were testing arterial closer devices. and so they had a massive DOE, and needed hands to run it. we were using pigs blood, and pumping it through model arteries, and then using the closer device and testing the results. pressure/flow etc.

and since blood didnt mess me up, i did this for like 2 or 3 weeks, 8 hours a day.

and the thing that got to me, was the tackiness of semi-dried blood. really, its just not an appealing texture. the smell gets bad after an 8 hour day too.

Same. Although I've been fortunate to not shed that much blood in my lifetime...nothing beyond anything needing a few stitches. Maybe it'd be different if I had truly massive bleeding....

After 50 years as a mechanic, you get used to it. Just another day.
