This gel stops bleeding in seconds

Oh, by the way, the video above shows blood.

You know, in case you were queasy about blood or anything...

There are going to be a couple of other blood-centric videos after the jump in a few lines.

The idea that a seventeen-year-old student took algae and developed a blood-stopping polymer makes me think I should probably be doing labs a little more involved with my chemistry students. Sheesh...

Honestly, though, the video up above shows the gel as vetigel, but it's now available as traumagel.
