When you click your finger, how to clean the droplet that is left?

At home I threw me for the brick of juice of the fridge (it is that the cocacola does not like).And another silly doubt, when you look at the sugar, whether at home, work or on the street, when we give ourselves the click on the finger, the drop of excess blood after having put it on the meter, do you sucked your finger?: Hehe sounds fatal, but you already understand me.It is that one day I went to the health center for strips, and they had to change the meter and to verify that I worked in front of the nurse and when I sucked my finger with the excess of the drop of blood, he put his hands onThe head, as was crazy.Let's see, I know that his thing would always be to have an algodoncito and alcohol to clean the finger to click and then with that cotton clean the droplet, but we are realistic, neither at work nor on the street I go I carry neither cotton nor alcoholTo be so meticulous.

My daughter also told the nurse not to suck it, that the blood would not say.

I do it too, to suck the excess drop we go, sometimes for reluctance, sometimes for hurry and such .. well I think we will have ever done it, right?Well I do this at home and if I am in public I try to have cotton or a paper handkerchief.

GARA OSTRAS, that is not you who wanded clothes, because what costs to remove blood stains!: D and by the way, that takes me to another question which is what Fer says. How do you take away dried blood spots?The typical droplet that when I click on insulin comes out, and I don't realize and put my clothes on top and zasca, dried droplet that I see after a few hours.I put on dry soap and rub, but if it is very dry, it costs me.One day I read that it could be removed with hydrogen peroxide too.Any more truquito?

Ufff, about the droplets ... It happens to me with the sheets, those of the pillows and the sheets ... there is always the restor there ... there is a product that divinely removes them "the magician quitamanchas of Dr.Beckmann ", that for resistant stains ... my mother says that they are recent by putting them in milk and washing them with very cold water, but I never arrived.Now I have neglected another Iberia product, which is not too embedded also works.It is Iberia Revolution.

Go, thank you very much, I will look good at the supermarkets, to see if I find this miracle removal.And the milk, I will try it in recent.And it seems lies of things that we can stain unintentionally.The case where I keep the meter is grayish and unintentionally I already have several blood stains that do not go, or underwear (the lantus skewed it into the buttock), and there are times that it seems not to want to stop stopping the blood, and others squeezed my finger so much to get a droplet that I almost stayed white and I have to change my finger because that day it seems that I have no blood on that finger jiji
