A member asked:

Please tell me how long it takes for to bleed out from a flesh wound/ bite?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mild or severe?: A mild flesh wound should clot long before one would bleed out. The same is true for most bites but something severe. Like a pit bull or large wild animal catching a major artery could bleed out in a few minutes without first aid.

I stepped onto a belt buckle prong that caused a small, but deep cut about 24 hrs ago. I believe there was fatty tissue slightly poking out of the wound, which is now just about done bleeding. I immediately cleaned it w/peroxide. Should I be seen?
