Styptic powder for pets

**FiReSTaRT** · 09-28-2006, 06:17 AM

I got a nasty non-shaving cut today and ruined one of my fav. white shirts. That got me thinking about getting some styptic powder. When I entered a search for styptic powder on e-bay, each and every item was for pets. So I have two questions...
1) Would that stuff be safe to use on humans? I mean we're all mammals, right?

2) How effective would it be compared to your run of the mill styptic pencil, which didn't do much for that cut.

Sounds like you needed gunpowder.

Not really.. It wasn't really big, I had bigger with less blood. It just caught me by surprise. Actually I was contemplating something along similar lines -- my snowboard waxing iron lol.

Try ChapStick. Really.

I use baking flour (for my dog nail trimming styptic). I don't see why it wouldn't work on a human...(let us know how it works out

) I always like to hear feedback before I try something like that, although I don't see how it could hurt you.

I don't see why not. This guy ate monkey chow for a week and documented it with a daily video diary:

Yea and birds can eat strychnine all day long and they're immune to it but I wouldn't advise you to eat it.

Strichnine and shaving nicks don't mix
