Is it really like "turning off" the tap?



Beware--rarely do we need such help with "external hemorrhage"--no magic potion will ever "turn off" surgical bleeding, and external wounds just do not result in exsanguinating bleeding--for surgical or other hemorrhage externally, nothing is better--or cheaper--than simple direct pressure.  We really need to have some common sense about such magical claims from products on the free market
