Hydrogen Peroxide and blood

I've read that hydrogen peroxide is good for cleaning blood stains (along with the jokes that the hard part is getting rid of the body...). Today, I took off my sock and shoe and there was a HUGE blood stain on half the sock and the back of the shoe. I must have gotten a blister with my new running shoes. I have a tiny, tiny little mark on the back of my leg where the shoe must have rubbed against my leg (I'll wear higher socks next time).

Yes, this has been a long known secret for those of us in the healthcare industry.

We laugh, but a friend of mine had cellulitis that started from a blister on her foot that got infected.

I'm keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected.
