Thanks for the review.

I did a search to find out about Bleed-X and found this page:
http://www.cfamilyresources.com/products/bleedx.htm

Step 2 of the instructions there say "... gently dry the wound and blot up any excess blood" before applying the powder. I think if you can actually accomplish that, you're not bleeding bad enough to need the stuff.

Kinda like the classic life raft patch kit - "all surfaces must be thoroughly dry before applying patch".
