does it work the same if you lose a large amount of blood? like out of a wound?

I am mildly concerned now, I’m generally really really reckless. Ive lost pints of blood from injuries without really worrying.
But anemia would Really Screw up my day.

I try to avoid long term effect repercussion type things, A ruptures are starting to become an everyday thing. I did not know i could get anything that would last longer than a month other than a scar from something like a gouge in my skin. Especially not anemia.

I’m not sure i really understand your theory, Scarring isn’t taxing on the body. It may be ugly but its more resilient than regular skin. Its proof of the body’s regenerative powers not a weakness

Bodies are engineered to lose blood and regain the blood. It’s an interesting concept but there is no way to prove it, and theres a lot of ways to Disprove it.

yeah blood does regenerate, but I don’t think you have to worry unless you start feeling really really cold…but it’s easily treatable, so no worries
