I have the magical ability to get nose bleeds spontaneously, and often enough that the school nurse saw me in the hallway of the school's office building today and knew exactly why I was there.

Anywho, it just happened during math class today and now I just stained my math notebook, great.

Fortunately, the blood didn't bleed through the other pages (It was a bit pricey for a notebook after all), but it's blood, and for obvious reasons, I would definitely prefer not to have it :)

Does anyone know how to get the stains out :')

Thanks!

P.S. I forgot to get my batteries recycled.

Hydrogen peroxide gets blood out of almost anything. You can use a cotton ball for paper so it doesn't get all wet. If you get it on clothes just pour a little over the blood. It works if the blood has dried too. It doesn't work if you washed the fabric in hot water.

Why do you need to get them out?

Just add a disclaimer like "blood stains, do not lick!" or something. It's something you throw away when it's full anyway and it will almost be exusivly used by you. Why care?

I share my notes with friends, I think they would be a bit weirded out.

[-] theKalash@feddit.ch 17 points 11 months ago

So let them be weirded out. Just tell them it's from a nose bleed, that's not that uncommon. What's the big deal?

Alternativly just copy the page and throw away the original.

Tell them you're a vampire.

[-] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

Or, "I am a part-time vampire pet."

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Oh, or tell them you're actually a vampire bat in an elaborate human suit.

I would probably take a q-tip and dab at the blood with a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide. It might bleach out any color, so only do that if the paper underneath is white. Really don't use much, and perhaps test first in some less important area of the notebook.

OP do you also need help to hide the body

[-] MarsRT@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

yes and from the cops

[-] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Blood probably isnt even in the top 5 worst bodily excretements that book has had on it that year. Literally nobody is going to care about teeny red spot on page 231. Dont worry about it.

[-] MarsRT@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

worse it was on page 5 I just bought the notebook days ago sob

[-] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 5 points 11 months ago

Learn to scetch and make a thing (tomato, fire, ...) out of it.

I mean probably hugely impractical but that's what I'd do πŸ”₯πŸ©ΈπŸ§‘β€πŸ¦°πŸŒΉπŸ¦ŠπŸ…πŸŸ

I doubt you can remove blood from paper. Tear out the page or put cute stickers on the stains.

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Try it with pure isopropyl alcohol. No water, because water destroys your paper.

But: it can also remove the ink from your paper (depending on the type of ink).

[-] MarsRT@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I use a pencil, is that fine?

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I have never tried that, but you can easily test it.

[-] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

This is more for fabrics than paper...
For blood stains, cold water is usually better than hot water.
Hydrogen peroxide or salt water might work.
Not sure that you can really remove a bad blood stain from paper.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Paint over it with a black marker.

You can't remove them, only at best make them fade slightly. That is not enough to prevent weirding people out, which I understood is your goal.

A blacked out area is slightly less weird.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Bleach removes it quickly is strong and you won't need to get it as wet, but will remove all other color.

Peroxide is safer on other things, but will need to make it fairly damp if you don't have some 30%

Alcohol will just turn it lighter brown.

I'd test a spot with bleach on a qtip, as little as possible.
