removing blood
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.

I use hydrogen peroxide on a Q-tip. That way you can dab it just where you need it. And be sure to rinse with water.
Might want to test it to make sure it doesn't damage the fabric if you have a sample piece of fabric. Hope your grandmother feels better soon.

I had always heard that you can remove your own blood stains by using your own spit....sounded weird, but it works. I am always poking myself with pins and now and again end up with a small stain on my sewing.

When I first got into quilting it was suggested to keep about 12" of thread in your mouth---if you do get blood on your project--put the little wet ball on it and it will be gone. I have used this method and it had worked every time.
