How to get rid of blood stains from paper?

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.

  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.

OP do you also need help to hide the body

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.

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.

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

I mean probably hugely impractical but that's what I'd do 🔥🩸🧑‍🦰🌹🦊🍅🍟

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

Scissors.

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).

- I use a pencil, is that fine?

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

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.

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.

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.
