When you prick your finger and get blood on what you are working on, use a little of your own saliva on the spot immediately. For some reason, it takes out the spot.
The reason your own saliva takes out your own blood is because they both have the same DNA. You won't believe this, but I was doing alteration for a doctor and he was relating how sometimes in surgery he got blood from the patient on his undershirt. I said he should stop the surgery & spit on his shirt. haha Then I asked 'wasn't it true that your own saliva would remove your own blood', and it was because the DNA was the same. He said he didn't know!!! I was so surprised that he didn't.
