| | | Do You Suck It???
No. I am not being dirty. I simply want to know whether or not you suck your finger after you test, or wipe the blood with a tissue or something!! I suck my finger, and was told that it was disgusting! Sheesh, its my blood!!

| | Yup, I'm guilty. I look at it this way, if you're working in the yard and you scrape yourself your instinct is to immediately suck the wound, isn't it?

| | yep, Im a sucker...
it's much less hassel than wiping it on a tissue... cuz that means you gotta carry those around as WELL as tester kit 
Im sure you have a certian amount of anti-septic in your saliver anyway... so who know, does it help heal the wound??

| | | Depends on where I am.
At work, nope, 'cause I want to get it staunched as quick as possible since I do not want blood getting on my "Nice School Clothes."
At home or with friends, I do whatever notion strikes me.

By the way, I moved this thread to the appropriate area, cause when I read the title, (having a dirty mind myself, lol) thought it was dirty!!
