super glue the cut closed.
They do it in emergency rooms all across the world so why not you doing it at home. You can then also keep working without any major worries. Yes it does sting after you put the glue on.

Watch that cut - for any inflamation.
In the future if anyone pricks their finger and a little drop of blood gets on cloth, quickly take about 36 inches of white thread and put it in your mouth to soak up your saliva. Dab the blood spots with this wet thread. It will take out the blood spot. We did this a lot when I was a young seamstress in an elite dress shop.
Again watch that cut.

Also extremely important is to watch for ANY signs of infection, redness, a hot feeling, etc as well as those other stitch suggestions. If crazy glue is the glue of life I wonder what Elmers is? Hope all is healed quickly. OUCH!

I would get that wound checked if it is bleeding that bad. I agree you may need stitches.

Get that checked out! You will need more than just latex gloves, should this be something serious.

Think about how long it will be, if this needs attention now and you don't take care of it right away.

Listen to peoples advice, we do care.

I also agree with getting it checked, especially with any threat of infection.

Ouchie - owie!!! Make sure the cut doesn't get infected - that would be very nasty.
